Film producer Ola Michael, has punched actor Kofi Adjorlolo over claims that about seven movie producers owe him.
According to Kofi Adjorlolo, most of the Ghanaian producers don’t pay actors after casting them for their movies.
“Some of the producers in Ghana here, they should respect themselves…an old man like me, they call me to come and work and they can’t pay me…” he said.
“About seven producers in this country owe me monies…why? And then I’m sitting at home, I’m hungry, and then when I’m sick too nobody pays attention…”
Responding to the claims, Ola Michael said Kofi Adjorololo is just a lazy, unprofessional actor.
“We [Mad House Production] contracted him [Adjorlolo] on a set, we had a number of days to execute that project but before we started he said his mum had passed on and would like to seek permission midway to go but three people quickly rubbished his claim indicating that Adjorlolo’s mum passed on two years ago and has been using the same excuse over and over…,” Ola explained.
“Now you leave the set without completing your scenes, go for a certain funeral that we didn’t even know was true or not and then call me four days after we’re done with the production that you are now available to complete your scenes, who does that?
“I had to replace him with another person and change the entire script so that it would not appear that he [Adjorlolo] left in the middle of the shoot…so for you to come back and say I owe you is totally out of place…” he fired.
Since made the claim a lot of creative arts people have also added their voice to the subject, highlighting the fact that showbiz people are taken for granted in the entertainment industry.
Comedian DKB has also stated that Kobi Rana owes him GHS 500.
