They are colleagues but not best of friends. And it undoubted that Funke and Mercy are two of the shining actresses, who have won the loyalty large number of Yoruba home video buffs. Interestingly, if the lamentations of the close allies of Funke are anything to go by, then, another supremacy battle is rearing its ugly head.The brewing cold war between Mercy and Funke is said to be not unconnected to Mercy’s new movie titled ‘Osas’. Tongues are wagging that the story of ‘Osas’ was told almost in the same line with ‘Jenifer’, Funke Akindele’s popular movie that sold thousands of copies when it was released few years ago.
It would also be recall that ‘Jenifer’ was the flick that shifted the position of Funke Akindele in the rank of Nigerian hottest actresses and ‘Return of Jenifer, the extended version of the movie, is set to be premiered any moment from now.
While some close aides of Funke are said to be accusing Mercy of stealing the story idea, loyal allies of Mercy were gathered to have not found the allegation funny at all. “It’s not possible, ‘Osas’ has better storyline when compare to Jenifer, though, both flicks have same director, I think the messages are different,” an insider claimed.
As neither Funke nor Mercy is ready to comment on the issue, Jenifer and Osas have story lines wrap around a local girl, who is trying to belong in the circle of big girls.
