In an interview with Channels TV, Udokwu applauded Idris’ talent but also highlighted the significance of casting Nigerian actors in lead roles, especially for stories that are deeply tied to Nigerian culture.

“There’s this conversation about Idris Elba being cast to play Okonkwo in Hollywood’s make of ‘Things Fall Apart’. I don’t have anything against that as an actor but I think we have top-class actors in Nigeria who can play that role even better, knowing where the story is coming from,” he said.
