Actress Bimbo Ademoye and her colleague Aisha Lawal have engaged in a light banter over the lead characters in Kunle Afolayan’s new film Anikulapo.
The drama started on Tuesday after Aisha Lawal took to Instagram to ask her followers to share thoughts on whose character should be blamed for their misfortunes.
Anikulapo is the story of Saro, (played by Kunle Remi) a travelling clothe weaver, who was beaten to death for having an affair with the Alaafin’s youngest wife named Arolake played by Bimbo.
A mystical bird brings him back to life, leaving behind a gourd with the power to raise the dead.
Aisha who played the role of Sunkanmi, an older wife of the Alaafin became a trending topic on social media following her performance in the movie.
According to Aisha, her character Sunkanmi was faulted over Arolake’s decision to elope with Saro. Many believed that the ill-treatment received from Sunkanmi and her co-wife drove Arolake away.
Defending her character, the Yoruba movie star wrote: “OK SO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MOST TALK ABT MOVIE OF THE MOMENT #ANIKULAPO I HAVE BEEN SEEING YOUR TAGS ON IG AND TWITTER SERIOUSLY HOW IS IT OLORI SUNKANMI’S FAULT THAT OLORI AROLAKE @bimboademoye FOLLOW FINE BOY ELOPE?
