A viral video from the set of Funke Akindele’s forthcoming movie, Everybody Loves Jenifa, has surfaced, depicting a dramatic scene where a luxurious mansion is engulfed in flames.
The footage shows the cast and crew scrambling to extinguish the fire, while Funke Akindele remains serene and unruffled. Reports indicate that the actress took a significant risk by utilizing her own property to achieve authenticity in the film.
Known for her meticulous production standards, Funke Akindele funded the project independently and hired a crew of 175 members, with a substantial number being young and emerging talents.
To ensure safety during the filming of fire-related scenes, Funke Akindele formed a strategic partnership with the Lagos State Fire Service, a collaboration that was publicly acknowledged by Jubril Giwa, the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the Lagos State Governor, via social media.
This bold move has earned Funke Akindele accolades from fans and industry professionals alike, who admire her commitment to her craft and her investment in delivering outstanding cinematic experiences.
