An explanation for Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin's decision to feature Nollywood stars Ramsey Noah, Charles Awurum, and popular Awilo Sharp Sharp rather than his other movie colleagues has been provided by the controversial Kumawood actor/musician. In an interview that ghbase.com listened to on Power FM, Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin explained that he didn't limit himself to casting Ghanaian actors and actresses because he wanted his films to be seen all over the world.
As if he had done something horrible, the humorous actor claims he cannot fathom why Ghanaians would criticize his choice to feature Nigerian celebrities. In his popular films "Cocoa Season" and "Papa No," among others, Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin asserts that he used a large number of Ghanaian actors and actresses, which ultimately led to his films' failure to achieve his expectations.
Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin bolstered his claim by saying that the use of Chinese and Indian actors in American films is an effort to expand internationally. The truth is that the film will struggle to succeed without foreign stars, which is why I decided to engage Nigerian musicians. People are wondering why I did this, though. Stars from China and India can be seen in Hollywood films as well. He questioned why some were upset that he had used Nigerian performers in his film.
It is hard to feature all of these talented individuals in a single film, according to Lilwin, which is why he left out Bill Asamoah, Emelia Brobbey, Kwaku Manu, Nana Ama McBrown, and countless more. "I am perplexed. Is it possible to have every Ghanaian film star in a single film? No. When I put it on Netflix, it's not just for Ghanaians; it's for people all over the world. So, if you want to create an impact, you have to include foreigners. He went on to say that the reason Nigerian musicians showcase Chris Brown, Eminem, and other foreign superstars is their desire for worldwide renown.
