The actress made the appeal in a video shared on her Instagram page, where she appeared in a playful yet emotional mood during a conversation with Nkem Owoh.

In the clip, Nkem Owoh asked what was wrong, prompting Annie Macaulay Idibia to express mild frustration over what she described as low audience engagement with the movie.

“I am not happy because they don’t want to watch our film. Hey guys, please watch my movie. I am doing it with my boss,” she said.

The video, which quickly circulated online, showed a light-hearted exchange between the two actors, with fans reacting to her humorous but sincere plea for support.

Her appeal has since drawn mixed reactions across social media, with some users praising her candour and others promising to watch the film in support of the Nollywood industry.

The moment has also been interpreted as part of the growing trend among actors who openly promote their work directly to audiences through social media platforms.
