Kilanko Hits N35.3 Million and Is Coming to the UK — Rotimi Salami Takes the Story Abroad

The numbers keep climbing. The cinemas keep filling. And now — Kilanko is crossing the Atlantic.

What started as a deeply personal story about faith, family, and the invisible battles Nigerian mothers fight every day has become one of the most talked about films of 2026. And with N35.3 million at the box office and still counting, the journey is far from over.

In fact — it is just getting to the good part.

Kilanko Is Coming to the United Kingdom

For every Nigerian in the UK who has been waiting, asking, and sending messages — your time has come.

Rotimi Salami and the Kilanko team are bringing the film to three major UK cities this April and the schedule is locked in:

📍 London — April 17th
📍 Birmingham — April 18th
📍 Manchester — April 24th

This is not just a cinema screening. It is a piece of Nigeria landing in the heart of the United Kingdom. It is Nollywood walking confidently into spaces it belongs in. And it is Rotimi Salami showing up for every single fan who has been shouting about this film from thousands of miles away.

If you are in London, Birmingham or Manchester — clear your schedule. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell every Nigerian you know in those cities.

Kilanko is coming to you. 🎬

Still Showing in Nigeria Too

For those at home — Kilanko is still showing in selected cinemas nationwide. If you have not seen it yet there is still time. And if you have already seen it — bring someone who has not. Because this is the kind of film that hits different when you watch it with people you love.

N35.3 million is a number that belongs to every single person who bought a ticket, shared a post, sent a voice note, or simply told one person “you need to go and see this film.”

That number is yours.

Away from Kilanko for a moment — today Rotimi Salami steps out to support a fellow creative as he attends the premiere of The Return of Arinzo by the talented Iya Ojo.

Because that is who Rotimi is beyond the screen. A man who shows up for his colleagues. A man who understands that Nigerian cinema rises when its people support each other genuinely and without reservation.

The industry is stronger when its pillars show up for each other. And today, Rotimi Salami is doing exactly that.

Congratulations to Iya Ojo and the entire cast and crew of The Return of Arinzo. 🙏🎬
