Rising star and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Vee Iye, is currently enjoying a major career high. Following the massive success of the new Nollywood blockbuster "Behind The Scenes," Vee took to social media to share her excitement and reveal that her role in the project went far beyond just acting.
The film, produced by the legendary Funke Akindele, has officially made history as the highest-grossing Nollywood movie of all time. Currently sitting at a staggering N1.9 billion, it has officially displaced the previous record-holder, "Everybody Loves Jenifa" (which grossed N1.8 billion). Notably, both record-breaking films were produced by Funke Akindele, solidifying her status as the undisputed Box Office Queen.
In a recent post that has fans cheering, Vee revealed that she was heavily involved in the creative process of this historic project. She shared that she worked on the story development and, in a surprising twist, she was the one who actually came up with the movie’s title.
"Worked on the story development and acted in the highest grossing movie in West Africa. CHAT TO ME NICELYYYYYY," she wrote, adding, "(I came up with the movie title too 😌)."
Vee’s transition from reality TV and music into the world of film is proving to be a masterclass in growth. By contributing to the script and branding of a production that has now surpassed the N1.9 billion mark, she has solidified her place as a multi-talented creative in the industry.
As "Behind The Scenes" continues its dominant run in cinemas, it isn’t just breaking records, it’s setting a brand new standard for African cinema.
