Nollywood’s 2025 release, MY SUPERSTAR, is a raw and contemporary drama that dives into the tumultuous world of celebrity romance, trust, and self-worth. With powerful performances by Maurice Sam and Bianca Mathew, the film explores what it truly means to love someone constantly in the public eye-and the sacrifices and heartbreak that come with it.
If you’re drawn to stories of love, betrayal, and the search for self-respect, this film is a must-watch.
MY SUPERSTAR follows the complicated relationship between Ray Abbasi (Maurice Sam), a charismatic and wildly popular musician, and Samara (Bianca Mathew), his devoted but long-suffering girlfriend. Their romance is a rollercoaster, defined by Ray’s fame, constant attention from female fans, and his inability-or unwillingness-to be faithful.
The film opens with Ray juggling his music career and a social media presence, engaging with fans and promoting his upcoming EP. Samara, meanwhile, is growing increasingly frustrated with Ray’s infidelity and the secrecy surrounding their relationship.
She’s kept out of the spotlight, never acknowledged as Ray’s girlfriend, and forced to watch as he basks in adoration from countless women.
Samara’s suspicions are confirmed when she confronts Ray about messages from another woman-an afrobeat star named Isabella. Ray refuses to let her see his phone, leading to a heated argument.
The tension escalates when Samara learns that Ray has gotten Isabella pregnant and is arranging for her to terminate the pregnancy. Despite her heartbreak, Samara finds herself making excuses for Ray’s behavior, clinging to the financial security and luxury his celebrity status provides.
