Fatima Mohammad, also known as Sangaya at Mai Martaba Film, os a talented young woman in Kannywood industry. She joined Kannywood in 2022 and has featured more than 20 films within two years. In this interview with IBRAHIM HAMISU in Kano she shares experience in the industry, and many more.
Can you introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Fatima Muhammad, an indigene of Borno state and an actress and a filmmaker.
Your background please?
I was Born on November 24, 1999 in Maiduguri. I had my primary and secondary school education in Abuja.
I also did my JAMB examination in Abuja. I joined many entrepreneurial activities and I hustled a lot, making money and getting exposed to the outside world after I left my comfort zone for Kano.
How did you join Kannywood?
It was in 2022 and it was genuinely coincidental because it wasn’t in my blueprint to be an actress or a filmmaker. However, you can’t help what was being prescribed to you by the divine powers.
The film industry has a very wide scope; what is your area of expertise?
I’m a good actress and a potential production manager.
I’m about to become one because it’s a dream that is about to come true in the nearest future.
How many films have you featured in so far?
I will mention but few; MAI MARTABA by Prince Daniel Aboki, BURI by Kamilu Dan Hausa, Mijin Kanwata, Bakin Kulli and so on.
What achievements have you recorded so far?
So far, I am the first Kannywood star with a high budget movie of over N100 million.
I also got a nomination by the AMMA as a Best Promising Up Coming Actress. I was nominated alongside four others, and God willing, I will be the triumphant nominee, taking the award home!
