The premiere further generated buzz around the film’s potential and its star-studded cast.
With Akindele’s track record and the high expectations surrounding the movie, Everybody Loves Jenifa is poised to make a significant impact in the Nigerian film industry. If the film meets its box office expectations, it will further cement Akindele’s reputation as one of Nollywood’s leading filmmakers and actresses.
