The fan’s request has caught attention because the movie featured Funke and Femi in memorable roles as a married couple living double lives.
An X user, @Dahmodee, tagged the actress and made a direct appeal for the return of the classic movie.
“@funkeakindele all we want is a remake of Taiwo Taiwo plsss,” the user wrote.
Funke responded with a short message that could give fans hope that she is open to the idea.
“hmmmmm…won’t be a bad idea,” she replied.
Released in 2008, Taiwo Taiwo featured Funke as T-Girl and Femi as T-Boy, a married couple who appeared to live ordinary lives during the day.
However, the pair led a secret life as a notorious robbery and crime syndicate at night.
The film also featured Iyabo Ojo and Adebayo Salami, adding to its ensemble cast.
The remake request comes amid online discussion of Funke and Femi’s recent interaction at Wumi Toriola’s son’s birthday.
Their appearance together may have reminded some viewers of their earlier on-screen partnership and prompted renewed interest in seeing them work together again.
