American
cinematographer that shot the award-winning movie, ‘Ije,’ Keith L.
Smith, has disclosed that Nollywood duo of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and
Genevieve Nnaji, continued with their rivalry on set of the movie but
were matured with it.
Keith stated that though the rift between
the two stars was obvious but when they were on set, they left the rift
behind and when they are off set, they continued as they keep distance
from each other.
“Let me tell you something: it was amazing. I did
not see it, but I felt it. However, they were very professional with
the way they got along. I knew there was something between them, and I
had heard of it. But when they got in front of the camera, they put all
that behind them, but whenever they finished their scenes, they went
their separate ways,” he told E-247 magazine.
The cinematographer
added that both stars had their own group of friends where they hangout
to talk after shooting and they were able to professionally handle that
till the movie was over without any crisis.
