Racheal talks in-depth about her career as an actress and her hit movie, MMM.
MMM is the story of a fresh Lagos babe, Marion (Arese Ankemokpae) who moves to Lagos to work at a publishing firm while living with her aunt and her husband.
Only when she arrives at that publishing firm, does she realise what most people in Lagos already know ‘things in Lagos aren’t always what they seem’?
She soon meets the high and mighty Wale Odenuga (Ikechukwu) who at first seems arrogant and obnoxious but eventually transitions into a really reliable friend but there’s a problem.
Racheal who played a very controversial role in MMM “A man Eater, always looking for men with big money’ revealed that there’s no trait of the character in her.
She shared that she’s not materialistic and she’s the opposite of the role she acted in.

How easy is it for you to interpret a role that is different from you in person?
It depends. You have to like, do background work on your character, and know how to connect with the character that you would be playing.
Picture yourself in that personality, the character that you would be playing and see how you can just express yourself.
How do you cope in situations where you have to do 2-3 sets at a time?
Well, to be very honest with you, I try as much as possible not to jump in from set to set. Personally, I don’t, I try not to, I wouldn’t want to because it takes a lot for me to get into a character.
I give my all and jumping from another set to another for me, can be very emotionally draining because I am very emotional.
I try as much as possible to take my time, shoot like two movies in a month if I can and just take a break. That’s what I do.
Reacting to talks about actresses using big cars and owning mansions, she said,
I believe that actresses are industrious, like myself, I took a break, the first quarter of this year was the last time I starred in any movie.
I took my time to develop my business. I own a film company, rent equipment and have an interior design company. I also have a gifts and souvenirs company as well and recently, I started my online zodiac store.
Are you getting back to acting?
Yes off course
How are you going to be able to balance your business and acting?
Well, that’s the reason why I took a break so that I can develop the foundation of my businesses so that when I go back to acting it can be running as well because I am a producer as well.
