After a record-breaking 2024, Nollywood is kicking off 2025 with bold projects, captivating stories, and major announcements. Among the early highlights is Toyin Abraham, whose latest release has fans excited, reigniting comparisons with her perceived rival, Funke Akindele. Akindele’s Everybody Loves Jenifa dominated box offices last year, setting high expectations for 2025. Beyond these two powerhouses, emerging and veteran filmmakers alike are preparing to make their mark. Here’s a sneak peek at what Nollywood has in store for us.
Iyalode and Mr and Mrs Jejeloye
Toyin Abraham is set to captivate audiences once again with two major cinematic releases in 2025.
On Instagram, the actor and filmmaker announced her upcoming projects: Iyalode, an epic drama filled with intrigue and passion, premiering in June, and Mrs. Jejeloye, a heartwarming tale set to hit cinemas in December. Both films are already generating excitement among fans.
Stay tuned as Toyin continues her streak of delivering memorable stories to the big screen!
