Funke Akindele Announces Behind The Scenes Release Date in a Playfully Chaotic Promo with Star-Studded Cast

Funke Akindele has officially announced the release date for her much-anticipated film, Behind The Scenes and she did it in the most Funke way possible.

In a lively and delightfully chaotic promotional video, the award-winning filmmaker teamed up with a mix of Nollywood stars and popular influencers to unveil that the movie will hit cinemas nationwide on December 12th.

The video features a spirited lineup that includes Prince Jide Kosoko, Adedoyin Jadesola ‘Jadrolita’, Jaiye Kuti (Jayeola Monje), Bamidele ‘Bati Fe’ Bentley, Hauwa Lawal, Hawa Magaji, Dorathy Bachor, and Emma Oh My God — all bringing humor and energy to what looks like a fashion runway gone hilariously off-script.

While the film’s synopsis is yet to be revealed, the cast list alone has fans buzzing. Behind The Scenes features some of Nollywood’s most recognized names, including: Funke Akindele, Uzor Arukwe, Ibrahim Chatta, Iyabo Ojo, Scarlet Gomez, Dele Odule, Tobi Bakre, Destiny Etiko, Akinyoola Ayoola, Victoria Adeyele, Wanni Danbaki, Handi Danbaki, Uche Montana, Ini Dima-Okojie, Afeez Oyetoro, and Fausat Abeni Balogun.

If the teaser video is anything to go by, Behind The Scenes promises laughter, drama, and that signature Funke Akindele magic that blends everyday chaos with heartfelt storytelling.

Mark your calendars, Behind The Scenes arrives in cinemas nationwide December 12th, 2025.
