Funke Akindele is back with another big-screen story. Her new movie, Behind the Scenes, is set to premiere in December 2025. It continues her streak of blockbuster holiday releases that dominate cinemas every year.
Produced under Funke Akindele Network (FAAN), the movie explores what happens beyond fame and success. Akindele revealed that she was spiritually inspired to tell this story instead of shooting a sequel to A Tribe Called Judah.
Inspired by Faith
Funke said the idea came from divine direction. She wanted to create something real, a story about hidden struggles and silent battles people face off-camera. The message is simple: everyone has a story behind the smiles.
The film aims to connect deeply with everyday experiences. It’s not just about glamour but about life’s unseen challenges and personal growth.
What to Expect
Though Funke hasn’t revealed the full plot, the tone promises emotion, faith, and truth. The movie blends humor, drama, and life lessons, her signature style.
Like Battle on Buka Street and Omo Ghetto: The Saga, this one will entertain and inspire. But this time, the story feels even more personal.
Star Cast
Behind the Scenes features a strong lineup including Tobi Bakre, Uzor Arukwe, Ini Dima-Okojie, Uche Montana, and Ibrahim Chatta. Funke also appears in the film, adding her familiar charm and energy.
The project, led by FAAN, promises high-quality visuals and storytelling. Filming took place across multiple Nigerian locations ahead of the December launch.
Promotion and Buzz
Funke Akindele is known for creative marketing. Expect to see bold promotions across social media — from funny skits to emotional teasers. Her campaigns often trend weeks before release.
Fans can look forward to cast tours, online challenges, and exciting behind-the-scenes clips leading up to the premiere. Her proven formula of humor and relatability is sure to make Behind the Scenes another viral hit.
Behind the Scenes is shaping up to be more than just a movie, it’s a story of faith, truth, and self-discovery. With its emotional depth, strong cast, and massive holiday buzz, Funke Akindele may have another record-breaking hit this December.
