Lupita Nyongo’o, an academy award winning actress and 12 years a slave star, is set to feature in a movie acted in Uganda dubbed Queen of Katwe that will be directed by Mira Nair of Maisha film lab.
However, according to our source that preferred anonymity, Lupita is in Uganda not because of the movie shoot but for business purposes.
BigEye.ug has been informed that none of her scenes will be shot in Uganda, but most likely in South Africa which is her next destination after Kampala.
Sources further revealed that on Saturday, Lupita was treated to a welcome party at Maisha gardens in Buziga and people who wanted to have a glance at the flamboyant actress Lupita would pay 280,000/- entrance fee with exceptions to Maisha alumni who were paying 140,000.
