Filmmaker Niyi Akinmolayan released the first look of his movie Colours of Fire, which he is set to release in December.

The internet has gone wild with the photos of some scenes from the film he shared. The lead picture features Nollywood actors Uzor Arukwe and Osas Ighodaro, who are presumed to be the main characters in the film.

Uzor, the Odogwu Paranran actor's fame soared after his role in Omoni Oboli's popular movie, Love in Every Word, which was released in March 2025 and had over 24 million views. In the movie, he acted alongside ex-BBNaija contestant-turned-actress, Bamike Olawunmi, popularly known as Bambam.

In Colours of Fire, Uzor holds a knife to Osas' neck while his other hand goes across her chest. This singular act made the photos go viral, with movie enthusiasts reacting to his action.

The trending photo of Osas Ighodaro and Uzor Arukwe has generated various clapbacks from their fans.
