The type of tense behind-the-scene occurrences that viewers hardly know about has burst onto limelight after actress Peggy Ovire and actor Taye Arimoro engaged in a heated disagreement during a shoot in Lagos.
The confrontation, eyewitnesses say, briefly halted production.
The clash reportedly began over a scene interpretation dispute.
Peggy, known for her assertiveness, challenged Arimoro’s performance, prompting an exchange that stunned the crew.
Though staff intervened swiftly, insiders said the altercation revealed simmering ego battles common in Nollywood’s fast-paced environment. “It wasn’t physical, but the words were intense,” a crew member shared.
Fans have debated the incident online, some defending Peggy’s professionalism while others faulted her temper. Memes and mixed reactions have since trended on X.
Producers have since mediated peace between the actors and assured fans that the film remains on schedule for release later this year.
