- An uproar erupted on the movie set when Akinbayode Itunu flat-out declined to take part in a smooching scene with Topright onnset.
- Viral videos captured the explosive showdown and fierce verbal sparring that ensued among the cast and crew of the film, turning the entire set into a proverbial battleground of conflicting opinions.
Temitope Iledo, the Yoruba Actor famously known as Topright, found himself in a whirlwind of astonishment and rage when Akinbayode Itunu, his fellow actor, adamantly declined to lock lips with him on the movie set.
In a circulating video, Topright knelt down, attempting to deliver a kiss in a scene on set. However, Itunu, seated on the bed, shrugged off his advance.
Itunu asserted that adhering to the script’s directive for them to share a kiss was not obligatory, a stance that Topright vehemently contested.
The on-set director stepped in to question Itunu about her refusal to engage in the scripted kiss, to which she cryptically cited personal reasons for her objection. This statement served as a spark, further intensifying Topright’s reaction.
He responded by directly asking Itunu if he had bad breath, intensifying the already charged atmosphere on set.
Astonished, the director sought out the movie producer to express concern over Itunu’s adamant refusal to engage in the scripted kiss with Topright.
The movie producer, unfazed, reminded Itunu that she had been paid for the role and pointedly mentioned her prior acceptance of the script. He questioned why she was now reneging on her commitment to fulfill her designated part in the film.
Expressing unawareness of the kissing scene in the initial script, Itunu responded to continued pressure from Topright, who accused her of disgracing him on set.
Growing frustrated, Itunu stood up, directing her frustration at Topright and those insisting she kiss him during the scene.
This confrontation led the movie producer to suspend the scene until the unresolved matter was sorted out.
