Chetanna is one of the most anticipated language movies of recent times, and it stars Chigozie Atuanya, Queen Nwokoye, Ebube Nwagbo, and Ebele Okaro-Onyiuke. It was produced by Chigozie Atuanya, and directed by Ikechukwu Onyeka. The movie is currently on a tour of the United States, and it was premiered in Houston on October 11. Movie fans are eagerly anticipating the premiere of the movie in Nigeria, which will take place before the end of the year.
