Despite her failure to win any nomination in all categories at the 10th Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award (AMVCA), Nollywood actress and producer Funke Akindele has announced a new movie project.
This is coming barely a few days after the grand ceremony of the AMVCA 10 where the actress lost in all 5 nominations from her movie ‘A Tribe called Judah’ which saw ‘Breath of Life’ winning big in all categories.
However, amidst the AMVCA loss, Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has refused to give in to failure as she has recently announced a new movie project, ‘ finding me’.
While there is no official date on when the movie will be out, Funke Akindele has already commenced promotion as she shared videos of her male colleague Femi Adebayo and Joseph Benjamin, who seemed to be a part of the new movie cast grooving to a viral song while changing their outfits.
Before the announcement of the new movie, she had opened up about recent challenges. The title of the new project seems to go along the lines of her past struggles.
Taking to X the actress wrote “Being an underdog doesn’t define me, it fuels me. Despite all the challenges I face, I keep pushing boundaries in Nigerian cinema. My success isn’t measured by accolades but by the stories I tell and lives I impact. Here’ s to never give up on your dreams, no matter the odds #underdogspirit #persistence#keeppushing”
