Award-winning filmmaker Funke Akindele has urged fans to respect her latest film, “Behind The Scenes,” by not recording or sharing clips online.
She emphasised that piracy can harm the film’s success and asks fans to share her message to support the hard work behind the movie.
The film, which hit cinemas on December 12, explores the realities and emotional struggles behind success and fame.
Funke Akindele has expressed that the movie was inspired by a divine message and features a talented cast, including Tobi Bakre, Iyabo Ojo, Scarlet Gomez and Ini Dima-Okojie.
She wrote, “Say no to direct & indirect piracy. Hello my beautiful fans. We’re super excited that behind the scenes is showing in cinemas, but please let’s say a big no to recording any scenes of #BehindTheScenes in the cinema. Recording or posting clips, even short ones is also piracy.
“Yes, take pictures at the roll-up banners and share your reviews, but no recording inside the cinema, please. Kindly share this message with family and friends let’s support the hard work behind this masterpiece. See you at the cinemas! Thank you.”
