Ghanaian actor Kwadwo Nkansah, famously known as LilWin, has disclosed that he has produced a movie featuring the iconic musician Daddy Lumba, which is awaiting release.
The film, he mentioned, boasts a star-studded cast, including musician Great Ampong and prominent Kumawood actors like Bill Asamoah, Akrobeto, Vivian Jill, among others.
LilWin revealed that upon completing the movie, which was set for public premiere, Daddy Lumba requested its withholding because he was not satisfied with his appearance in it.
He elaborated that Daddy Lumba was worried that his portrayal, which he felt did not present him in a favorable light, would tarnish his image as someone recognized for his charm and appeal to women.
“I’ve filmed a movie with Daddy Lumba, but it never reached the public. It’s my production, but he barred its premiere, claiming he looked unappealing in the film. He said, ‘Kwadwo, women fancy me, but I appear unattractive.’ I assured him the role required that appearance, yet he persisted post-production.
“The cast included Kofi Nti, Akrobeto, Vivian Jill, Bill Asamoah, and Great Ampong. It marked the first encounter between Ampong and Daddy Lumba. It’s been eight years since we shot the movie,” he told Nana Romeo in an interview on Accra FM.
In the meantime, LilWin has faced backlash after an accident resulted in the tragic death of 3-year-old Tawiah Ampomah.
Authorities are currently investigating the incident to determine its circumstances and bring closure to the matter.
