According to Vanguard, Kenyan actress Ruth Nulu Maingi, renowned for her roles in Nollywood films, including her recent appearance in "PlayBack" produced by Lancelot Imasuen, continues to express deep gratitude for the realization of her dream. Since her debut in Nollywood back in 2018 with Lancelot Imasuen's "Family First", where she acted alongside Monalisa Chinda-Coker and IK Ogbonna, Maingi has eagerly pursued more opportunities in Nigerian cinema.
Her upcoming project, "Daddy", a short film, is poised to further establish her presence within the Nigerian film industry. "PlayBack", her latest release featuring Lancelot Imasuen and Desmond Elliot, among others, premiered on Imasuen's YouTube Channel and has quickly amassed millions of views within its first two weeks.
Maingi, a multifaceted artist proficient in acting, dancing, and voice-over work, has nurtured a passion for Nollywood, drawn to the industry's authentic storytelling. She admires the dedication and industry support exhibited by Nigerian filmmakers and audiences, citing their commitment to cultivating a robust cinema culture.
Reflecting on Kenya's film landscape, Maingi notes significant growth, with the industry evolving from producing a few films annually to now exceeding ten per year. Notably, Kenyan cinema has garnered international acclaim, exemplified by the Oscar-nominated film "Watu Wote". Maingi herself has appeared in over 40 films, including several for Africa Magic Original Films and as the lead in the award-winning Mama Duka Drama Series.
