Back Home – For Now

The son of local acting icon John Kani, who is currently based in New York, recently returned to Mzansi for the launch of his new movie, Love by Chance.

Atandwa (32) and Scandal! actress Altovise Lawrence (26) play a pair of South African actors, Chance and Bailey, who fall in love while chasing their dreams of becoming stars in the US.

Their relationship is threatened by fame and notoriety as they grow in the industry.

“The film required a lot of hard work and introspection,” says Atandwa.

His next big role is in Marvel’s Black Panther as the superhero’s dad in flashbacks – a role his own father played in Captain America: Civil War.
