The film is part of the popular Jenifa franchise, which has been entertaining audiences since 2008.
The movie features an ensemble cast, including Layi Wasabi, Nancy Isime, Jackie Appiah, Falz, Omowunmi Dada, Chimezie Imo, Patience Ozokwor, and Stan Nze.
This is not the first time a movie by Akindele will be making history in the Nollywood industry.
In January 2024, ‘A Tribe Called Judah’ became the first Nollywood movie to hit N1 billion at the Nigerian box office.
‘Battle On Buka Street’ was also named Nollywood’s highest-grossing film with N640m in 2023.
