Upcoming Christmas film, ‘Northern Affair’ started on Friday with award-winning cast of popular actor, John Dumelo playing the heartthrob of celebrated TV anchor and actress, Joselyn Dumas.

Although the two stars have acted together in the past, this is the first time they are paired as lovebirds and they are attacking their roles with their professional best.

They also looked a very good pair too in the movie which stars Joselyn Dumas as Esaba Jomo, a nurse who teams up with John Dumelo as Dr. Manuel Quagraine in a small fishing village to provide healthcare.

Sparks fly and the two begin to fall in love. But each one has a dark secret that will threaten whatever love they will share.

The script was written by Leila Djansi and the role of Manuel was earlier announced to be played by Nigeria’s Yemi Blaq who interestingly played doctor in Leila's ‘Sinking Sands’.

Also starring in the film is ace TV presenter, Jon Germaine. Other cast will be announced shortly. The film is produced by Access Media, headed by Mabel Germain.

Shooting began last Friday in Tema and production will move to other locations in some isolated communities in upcoming weeks.
