Veteran Ghanaian actor, Kofi Adjorlolo, has explained that illness prevented him from featuring in LilWin’s upcoming international movie, ‘A Journey to Africa (Nzulezu).’
During an interview, the actor disclosed that he had been approached to join the production but was unable to accept the offer because he was unwell after returning from Nigeria, where he had been working on another movie.
According to Adjorlolo, he informed actor and filmmaker Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, and his production team about his health condition to clarify the reason for his absence.
He stressed that his decision not to participate had nothing to do with any disagreement between him and LilWin.
Adjorlolo further dismissed suggestions of a strained relationship between them, insisting that everything remained cordial.
He noted that he had featured in several of LilWin’s previous productions and had never turned down an opportunity to work with him before.
“Yes, I was contacted, but I was not well. When I returned from Nigeria, I was unwell, and I made them aware of it. I have done a lot of LilWin’s productions. I have never refused to be part of LilWin’s productions before, and the people of Kumasi know that. Everything is OK between us. I don’t have any problem with them,” he said.
Meanwhile, the veteran actor also shared his thoughts on how Ghana’s film industry could be improved, identifying investment as one of the sector’s major needs.
According to him, increased financial support would enable filmmakers to produce more movies and contribute to the growth of the industry.
“I would make sure there are lots of investments going into our productions. We need more investors in the industry,” he added.
