In a groundbreaking moment for both Liberia and the global film industry, Samuel Nimely, a Liberian man based in India, has made history as the first Liberian to act in a Bollywood movie. This remarkable achievement was officially recognized on August 16, 2024, when the movie was launched by none other than Prime Minister Tirath Singh Rawat. The film is set for release on August 30, 2024, and will be available across various platforms in India, with special screenings at the India Cinema in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

Samuel’s journey from Liberia to Bollywood is nothing short of inspirational. As the first Liberian to break into the highly competitive Indian film industry, Samuel is not only representing his home country but also setting a precedent for future talents from Liberia and across Africa. His role in the movie, which remains under wraps, is eagerly anticipated by both Liberian and Indian audiences.
