Actress Nana Akua Addo has opened up on some problems the Ghana movie industry is faced with.
According to her, there is so much division in the industry that some actors only accept their roles after they get to know who they’re going to be on set with.
Speaking to Graphic Showbiz, Nana Akua suggested that actors need to love one another to make the industry a great one.
“We need to be one, let us love one another, let us stop backbiting, only then can we improve. Our division is so bad that some actors have to ask who they are playing along with before they accept roles.
“If they do not like you, they will not act and if they have a kind of relationship with the producer or director, you are off the movie. How can we grow with that?”
Nana Akua also talked about how producers used to rotate same old faces and sidelined the new ones but added that actors now know better.
“When I started, it was not easy, I remember how the same faces were being used over and over again and that was because these actors had a relationship with the producers and it was affecting us, but now we know better.”
In the wake of the growing argument of producers not paying actors, she said actors needed to come together to fight the unfair system and make the industry better.
“We need to have one voice, when we stop feeling superior over one another, everything will be fine. People are now complaining because the tables have turned. We those that they looked down on are the people now being regarded,” she said.
