Ghanaian actor Kwadwo Nkansah, better known as LilWin, has recently shed light on his decision to include Nigerian actors in his latest movie project, titled ‘A Country Called Ghana.’
In his explanation, he emphasized that collaborating with international actors would not only breathe new life into the Ghanaian film industry but also contribute to the growth of his own reputation as a movie producer.
Expressing frustration, he questioned why critics were quick to condemn his choice to work with Nigerian actors, while other productions featuring Ghanaians did not receive the same level of scrutiny.
In a video shared by Express GH TV on Youtube and sighted by GhanaWeb, LilWin said, “Are we supposed to progress or retrogress in life? If we are supposed to progress, then we must do things that will make the fans happy. I have featured a lot of Ghanaian musicians and actors in other movie projects, yet, nobody talked about it. Were those people Togolese?
“My movie projects including ‘Mr. President’, ‘Papa No’, and many others featured Ghanaians like Maame Dokono and co. We lament that the movie industry is monotonous, yet, when you want to bring something new, they complain. I can’t be at the same level so involving international actors will help me to thrive more.”
Ramsey Nouah and Awilo Sharp Sharp are part of the Nigerian actors featured in LilWin’s ‘A Country Called Ghana’.
