Nollywood actress Erechukwu Bayray Nwizu has revealed that Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has become one of the preconditions for actresses to get movie roles from some producers in the Nigerian film industry.

Bayray disclosed this while featuring on TVC programme, “Wake Up Nigeria.”

She noted that about a decade ago, the criteria to get movie roles were complexion and height, but it has changed in recent times, and one does not need to conform to them.

Bayray Nwizu acknowledged the improvements in capital and infrastructure within the Nollywood industry but expressed concern about a decline in raw talent.

She said producers often prefer social media sensations for their projects, highlighting the competitive nature of the industry.

She said: “Ten years ago, it was you’re not fair enough, you’re not tall enough, you’re not full enough; now it’s you don’t have BBL.

“The good news is that now you don’t have to conform to them. You can take advantage of any of the streaming platforms, start creating your own content, and grow.

“We don’t have any excuses anymore. There are always going to be those who say, You have to do this to be in my movie.”
