Sudani from Nigeria is a 2018 Indian Malayalam-language sports drama film written and directed by Zakariya Mohammed, with dialogues co-written by Muhsin Parari.

Due to an unfortunate accident, his team's star player Samuel "Sudu" Robinson is hospitalised and forced to rest for a month.

Afraid he'll not be able to afford the hospital charges, Majeed decides to let Samuel rest at the former's house, where he and his mother are the only inhabitants, with occasional visits from his step-father who works as a security guard.

Samuel, on the other hand, lost both his parents in the civil war and lived in a refugee camp with his grandmother and two sisters.

The film was produced by cinematographers Sameer Thahir and Shyju Khalid and directed by debutant Zakariya.

Ravi suggested to make the film in a bigger scale and that Shahir would be apt for the role of Majeed.

Later, Muhsin Parari, who co-wrote the dialogues insisted Zakariya to approach Thahir, who agreed to produce the film with Khalid.
