Actress Funke Akindele described the main obstacle she faced while filming Battle of Buka Street.
The politician said in a video interview that the final day of filming was meant to be a day of success because the movie production was about to come to a close, but it ended up being the darkest day of her life.
Funke Akindele claimed that despite being broken and depressed due to a personal situation, she had the fortitude to carry on with the filming.
“The major challenge while shooting Battle on Buka street was the famous market scene, a scene I filmed when I was very sad. It was one of my saddest days on earth, something very personal happened, I broke down heavily and I couldn’t film and I told myself Funke, challenges will come but don’t let them deter you, so I braced up, summoned up courage and filmed the scene, I had started well and needed to end it well too and it was the last day on set, whatever you do, challenges will come, always pray for strength to keep it on cos it won’t always be easy”
