Much loved actress and producer, Funke Akindele, has warned fans who will be watching her new film, ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’, at the cinema not to record any scenes during their time at cinema.
Funke said anyone recoding her new film at the cinema is liable to the crime of piracy. She issued the warning in a trending video online, stating that she has taken security measures to prevent people from illegally recording her latest offering.
”Everybody Loves Jenifa’ will hit local cinemas from Friday, December 13, 2024.
Akindele took to her Instagram handle on Wednesday, appealing to her fans to desist from recording the movie while it is being shown in cinemas, maintaining that piracy is a serious offense that affects the finances and crafts of both producers and actors.
The Producer also pleaded with fans to take and share pictures and videos of the movie’s trailers and long queues at the ticket stands.
“Do not be scared. I am fine. But if you go to see my new movie — ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ and bring out your phone or any device you have to film it, then, I will not be fine,” she said.
“Do not upload on your social media accounts. Do not bring out your phone. If you want to support me, get to the cinemas, take pictures at the standies, post my trailers, the teasers of the movies, and I would be fine.
“Because the act of you filming is called piracy. We will not encourage piracy. We will take all necessary security measures to arrest anyone caught doing it. I love my fans very much.
“It is affecting us. We need to grow more than this. We spent a lot of money on that project ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’,” she said.
