Funke Akindele new house catches fire during movie shoot
Nollywood star and box office queen Funke Akindele has stirred up conversations with a viral video of a house fire from the set of her latest movie, Everybody Loves Jenifa.
The clip captured a dramatic scene where her multimillion-naira mansion was seemingly on fire while filming, as cast and crew scrambled to extinguish the flames. Surprisingly, Funke appeared calm and unbothered throughout the chaos.
Reports reveal that Funke Akindele took a significant risk with her property to ensure the movie’s realism. Known for sparing no expense, the actress self-funded the project and empowered 175 crew members, with 95% of them being young talents.
In a strategic move, Funke partnered with the Lagos State Fire Service for the movie’s fire-related scenes. Jubril Giwa, the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the Lagos State Governor, confirmed this collaboration in a post on his X page, acknowledging the state’s involvement in ensuring safety during the production.
Fans and industry insiders have applauded Funke Akindele’s commitment to her craft and her bold investment in creating memorable cinematic experiences. Everybody Loves Jenifa is already one of the most anticipated Nollywood releases, with audiences eagerly awaiting its premiere.
