Liz Benson makes Nollywood return in Mercy Johnson’s new film

Liz Benson, the ace Nigerian actress, is set to return to the screen in a forthcoming movie titled ‘A Mother’s Son’.

The new film is executive produced by Mercy Johnson and directed by Vincent De Anointed. It will feature actors like Georgina Ibeh, Mike Godson, and Simon Eveshoyan among others.

A star-struck Mercy took to her Instagram page on Tuesday to share a heartwarming video of herself and Ibeh kneeling to greet the film icon as she arrived on set.

“All the big people in Nollywood are here. You guys are doing exploits; God bless you,” Benson said.

“It is nice to see all of you in real life. I am meeting all of you for the first time. But I have come to see my daughter, Mercy Johnson.”

Mercy and Georgina also registered their anxiety to be meeting Benson.

The film’s release date is however yet to be disclosed.
