“I was so excited; I cried on set” – Juliana Olayode reunites with Funke Akindele on new movie set

Juliana shared a video of herself on Instagram on Tuesday, showing off her dance talents and expressing her delight at her return to Funke’s Scene One TV family.

Juliana Olayode, a Nigerian actress, has reacted after reuniting with her colleague and mentor, Funke Akindele, on her new film project.

Juliana has been cast in Funke’s new film, A Tribe Called Judah, starring Ebele Okaro, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Timini Egbuson, and others.

Fans flocked to her Instagram account on Monday to express their delight at the actress rejoining with the filmmaker six years after her emotional leave from Funke’s blockbuster series Jenifa’s Dairy.

The feud between the two actresses began in 2017 when Juliana was fired from the show owing to financial concerns.

However, the 27-year-old claimed in a lengthy Instagram apologetic post in May 2023 that her lack of understanding of the movie business caused her to hurt Funke, whom she characterized as a miracle God used to bring her to prominence.

She wrote; “We are COMING!!! A Tribe Called Judah is coming to the cinema on the 15th of December mark your calendars.

“Thank you for all the excitement and messages since I posted the video introducing the characters of A Tribe Called Judah yesterday. Posting this reel so y’all can see that I am as excited as you are. I was so excited I cried on set. Thank you so much mama @funkejenifaakindele for the opportunity to play Hilda. You are simply the BEST.”
