“The highly anticipated premiere of Aborimaham’s movie Gballi lived up to expectations as it pulled an unprecedented crowd to Picorna Gardens on October 5, 2024. Fans and movie lovers alike flocked in massive numbers to witness the release of the chilling movie, marking a historic moment for Northern Ghana’s film industry. The event was graced by the presence of Dagbon Entertainment Chiefs, who gave their blessings and support, as well as legendary actors such as Alhaji Ahmed Adam and Afa Saani Minister, solidifying Aborimaham’s standing as a powerhouse in the northern film sector.
The movie Gballi, which explores the mysteries of death and the afterlife, has been widely praised by both fans and industry insiders for its gripping plot and terrifying narrative. However, the biggest surprise of the night came not from the movie itself but from a reconciliation between Aborimaham and his fiercest competitor, Gonda. The two actors had been at odds since last year’s Northern Movie Awards, where Gonda edged out Aborimaham to win the coveted ‘Overall Actor’ award, leading to a series of public feuds and trading of shots.
In a show of unity, the two stars took a picture on stage, symbolizing the end of their rivalry. This gesture was met with thunderous applause from the audience, marking a pivotal moment for the Northern movie industry. The successful premiere, combined with the unexpected peace-making between the two actors, has set a new standard for the industry, showing that even in the face of competition, mutual respect and collaboration can prevail.
