The highly anticipated epic film “House of Ga’a,” set to debut on Netflix soon, features Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham, both acclaimed Nollywood actors.
‘House of Ga’a’ is a historical biopic based on true life events in the 18th century surrounding Bashorun Ga’a, a ferocious and feared Prime Minister/kingmaker who became more powerful than the kings he enthroned.
The drama, which was directed and produced by Bolanle Austen-Peters, starred Femi Branch, Mike Afolarin, Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, Ibrahim Chatta, Dele Odule, Bimbo Manuel, Lateef Adedimeji, Femi Adebayo, Gabriel Afolayan, Jide ‘JBlaze’ Oyegbile, Seun Akindele, Yemi Blaq, Adeniyi Johnson, Muyiwa Ademola, Willam Benson, Gbenga Titiloye, Kunle Coker and lots more.
The announcement of the movie was made at an International Women’s day 2024 organized by Netflix on Wednesday, March 6th to celebrate female film producers, directors, actors and members of the Nigerian film community.
House of Ga’a is set to be aired before the end of 2024, leaving many fans and movie lovers alike in anticipation mood.
Fans expressed their joy upon seeing their favorite actresses showcasing their acting skills in the same movie.
There’s a silent social media rivalry brewing between Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham for dominance and influence in the film industry. As both renowned actresses turned producers strive to outdo each other with their projects.
Information gathered that the duo has been at each other’s neck since the release of their movies; Ijakumo produced by Abaraham and Battle on the Buka Street produced by Akindele.
The feud between Akindele and Abraham became evident a few years ago when it was noticed that Akindele avoided Abraham during birthday celebrations, and vice versa. This tension escalated when Akindele chose to premiere her movie, “Omo Ghetto the Saga,” on the same day Abraham’s “Ghost and the Tout” premiered at cinemas two years ago.
This clash left many fans of both actresses torn between the choice of visiting the cinema to watch ‘The Ghost and The Tout’ or stay glued to NETFLIX for ‘Omo Ghetto the Saga’.
However, they called for an end to the conflict in 2023 following Funke Akindele’s heartfelt messages celebrating Toyin’s 43rd birthday.
It is worth noting that Funke Akindele had the highest grossing movie, ‘A tribe called Judah’ with N1.4 billion while Toyin Abraham’s Malaika earned N302 million.
