Burna Boy and Osas Ighodaro Team Up for Upcoming Nollywood Thriller 3 Cold Dishes

Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy and celebrated Nollywood actress Osas Ighodaro are making headlines with their recent collaboration on the highly anticipated movie 3 Cold Dishes.
The duo, who co-produced the film, were recently spotted at a private screening, fueling excitement among fans.
Osas Ighodaro first teased the project last year, revealing that the movie boasts a star-studded cast, including Femi Jacobs, Wale Ojo, Ruby Akubueze, and Brutus Richards. Spanning Nigeria, the Republic of Benin, and Côte d’Ivoire, 3 Cold Dishes promises to be a gripping cinematic experience.
A video from the private screening captured Burna Boy expressing admiration for Osas Ighodaro’s work, with another clip showing him seemingly in awe of the production.
The film, set for a 2025 release, explores intense themes of trust, betrayal, and justice, following three teenagers who come together to seek revenge after being forced into sex slavery.
This project marks Burna Boy’s Nollywood debut, adding another dimension to his ever-evolving career. With its compelling storyline, powerful performances, and international scope, 3 Cold Dishes is poised to make a significant impact on African cinema.

“It’s an adventure film where we speak English, Yoruba, and French. We are going through French-speaking countries from Nigeria to Côte d’Ivoire to Benin. I love it. We have Wale Ojo in it, we have myself, and actresses from Côte d’Ivoire. I am also a producer on the project as well as Burna Boy. I’m so proud of this film,” she shared.
