Burna Boy is trading in stadium stages for cinema screens — and he’s not coming alone. Teaming up with his mum, Bose Ogulu, and actress-producer Osas Ighodaro, he’s about to serve us a Nollywood film that’s as icy as its title suggests: 3 Cold Dishes.
The premise? Three women, each bound by past trauma, reunite years later to settle old scores — but don’t expect warm reunions or easy resolutions. This is a tale of revenge, survival, and sisterhood, served in the coldest way possible.
The trailer, which dropped ahead of the film’s October 3 premiere at London’s Indigo O2 (before touching down in Lagos on November 6), already has people buzzing. Moody shots, haunting stares, and a sense that something devastating — and delicious — is about to unfold. From there, the film will tour more African cities and even make a Toronto stop.

Part of the thrill is its pan-African DNA. Shot across Nigeria, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire and Mauritania, the cast pulls together a dream lineup: Osas Ighodaro, Maud Guerard, Fat Toure, Wale Ojo, Bambadjan Bamba, Femi Jacob, Ruby Akubueze, Amelie Mbaye, Mentor Ba, Taiwo Adeyemi, Tomiwa Kukoyi, Greg Ojefua, Brutus Richards, Aldot Bossou, and Sourou Guovoke.
The creative team is just as stacked. Directed by Asurf Oluseyi and written by Tomi Adesina, the project’s producing credits stretch wide, with Martial Dansou, Nader Fakhry, Seun Okegbemiro, Bambadjan Bamba, Zzini Ekeh, Maxzy Saint, and Ly Hamet rounding things out.
What makes 3 Cold Dishes stand out isn’t just its revenge-fuelled storyline, but what it signals: Burna Boy expanding his cultural empire, Osas Ighodaro flexing her influence in front of and behind the camera, and Nollywood confidently stepping into bigger, bolder, more international shoes.
