Popular Actor, Kwadwo Nkansah LilWin has explained why he prefers Nigerian actors to Ghanaian Actors, saying the former respond faster and take their professional commitments more seriously.
According to LilWin, he finds the Nigerian Actors more responsive and business-minded when working on film productions.
Speaking to the media in Ghana after several Nollywood stars arrived in the country to begin work on his upcoming movie, ‘A Journey to Africa (Nzulezu),’ Lil Win said Nigerian actors usually respond quickly after receiving his scripts, while he claims some Ghanaian actors can take much longer to respond or may not answer his calls.
“Nigerian actors take one day to read my script and sign contracts, but Ghanaian actors don’t even answer simple calls,” Lil Win said.
LilWin also said he does not want to beg actors to work on his projects. He believes the Nigerian stars also bring a wider fan base that could help his international movie projects reach more viewers.
His comments come as preparations begin for A Journey to Africa (Nzulezu), which is being produced under his banner.
Nollywood stars Kanayo O. Kanayo, Patience Ozokwor, Mike Ezuruonye, Zubby Michael and Destiny Etiko arrived in Ghana on September 30 to join the production.
The project is also a follow-up to LilWin’s 2024 film,‘A Country Called Ghana,’ which also featured Nigerian stars including Ramsey Nouah, Victor Osuagwu and Charles Awurum.
LilWin added that his decision to bring Nigerian actors was intended to bring fresh energy to Ghana’s movie industry and help expose local productions to a wider audience.
