Hot and sexy Nollywood actress, Uche Jumbo is up to the hilt with acting bitchy roles. Reason; it is restricting her career and killing her talent.

“Directors only see me as a hot blooded, sexy actress and they only want to project that image in any movie I act. It is either I am a rich, spoilt kid or I am acting bitchy. They are restricting my talent. I have a lot more to offer. I am a total artiste.”

According to the star of Black Bra: “I need to strike a balance between acting bitchy roles and responsible roles. How about the role of a loving mother or a broken-hearted widow? I could be a very loving mum. I love kids a great deal.”

Consequently, she has co-written a script with frontline scriptwriter, Emem Isong, in a new movie that should light up our screens soon, Games Men Play.
“It’s a total make over. Now people will have the opportunity of seeing the other side of me.”

The movie is really about the Games Men Play. Jombo acts the role of a heart broken housewife who is almost pushed to suicide as a consequence of her husband’s (Jim Iyke) sexcapades.
It’s an all star cast that includes Kate Henshaw Nuttal (who has a solution to every body’s problems but hers), Mike Ozuoronye, Ini Edo, Mona Lisa Chinda and Bob Manuel Udokwu among others.
Also in the works is another sweet girl next door movie entitled Mandy.
