Rukky Sanda is known to be born with a silver spoon. With several
self-produced movies to her credit,many would believe that she has the
backing of rich family members .However, she says in a chat with
Vanguard
‘Before I got into Nollywood, I was already doing business.I used to
sell stuff, so I had my money to put into it, and my mum supported me
with a loan. She collected her money back though, so there was no
sentiment attached. I won’t say it was easy starting out because I spent
about N3m in making my first movie, and that was quite a lot in 2005. I
don’t actually get Executive Producers for my movies; I do that myself.
Not like I don’t believe in going all out to source for funds, but it’s
just not my thing. I had someone once who wanted to sponsor my movie,
and we did that. But before the movie came out, they were already on my
neck asking for their money. I had to return it to them after we
finished filming; we had not even finished editing then. I told them
I’ll give them their money back, but that they wouldn’t get any credit
on the movie. Ever since, I only produce movies if it’s convenient for
me.’
