Veteran Ghanaian actor, Fred Amugi, has cleared the air on rumours suggesting that he vowed never to act alongside fellow actor Agya Koo.
This follows speculations about tension between the two celebrated actors. In an interview with MC Portfolio on Angel FM on Friday October 10, the award-winning actor stated emphatically that he never made such a statement and would gladly work with Agya Koo on any movie project.
“I never said I will never act in a movie involving Agya Koo. I never said this and I will repeat it 10 times if I’m asked,” Amugi stressed.
But Amugi disclosed that years ago, while shooting a film in Kumasi, an incident occurred between himself and Agya Koo which he found disrespectful.
“Some years back, I left Accra to Kumasi to shoot a movie which Agya Koo was also part of. We were supposed to shoot some night scenes, so we had to wait for him to arrive. When he finally came, he said he doesn’t shoot night scenes—that action was very disrespectful,” he recounted.
Amugi said that as a young actor at the time, Agya Koo’s attitude came off as unprofessional. Feeling disrespected, he decided to leave the set the next morning.
“If you’re an actor and you think you can dictate to your director what you want, then you’re not ready for the job. I also left the next morning because I was hurt and disrespected,” he added.
However, the seasoned actor made it clear that the incident is now in the past and he holds no grudges against Agya Koo.
“That was years ago. If today there’s a movie role involving Agya Koo, I’ll gladly do it. It’s all part of the job,” he said.
Amugi’s clarification puts to rest long-standing speculations about tension between the two celebrated actors, assuring fans that professionalism will always come first in his career.
