Kumawood actor-turned-movie producer, Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin, has disclosed that plans are far advanced for the release of his movie, which features the late musician, Daddy Lumba.
In a video made available across social media platforms on November 5, Lilwin confirmed to reports that he and Daddy Lumba had a movie titled “Mekum Meho Maa Nipa”.
Narrating how the idea of shooting with the legendary musician came into existence, Lilwin said he received a call from the musician for a meeting, and after a visit, the musician made him know that he loved how creative and good he was.
Following that, according to Lilwin, a consensus of the duo collaborating on a movie was made, after which he gathered Great Ampong, Bill Asamoah, Vivia Jill among others to be featured.
According to Lilwin, even though Daddy Lumba was not healthy at the time the movie was shot, he tried his best to get it shot.
However, Lilwin noted that after everything was set and plans were advanced towards the release of the movie, Daddy Lumba asked him not to release the movie with claims that he did not look nice in the movie.
Lilwin disclosed that he tried his best to convince the late musician to approve the release of the movie, but his efforts proved futile.
Meanwhile, Lilwin had stated that now that the musician is not alive anymore, he would be releasing the movie anytime soon this week.
“I was told Daddy wanted to meet me, so I went to see him in Accra. It was there that he told me how much he loved my movies and wanted to shoot with me. When he said that, I rushed back to Kumasi and gathered a crew. The movie featured Bill Asamoah, Akrobeto, Vivian Jill, and Great Ampong among others,” he said.
“During that period, LUMBA wasn’t feeling well so it was Odo Bronii who brought him to the set for the shooting”, he disclosed.
He shared that “After everything, I gave him a copy to watch so we could fix a date for the premiere. But he called me to tell me that his hair wasn’t braided well so we should shoot again even though he had earlier said the movie was nice. I tried to convince him but it didn’t work”.
He stated emphatically that “I have seen what’s happening on social media and I’m surprised because Daddy contributed greatly to the music industry and such things shouldn’t happen. I will release the movie any day between tomorrow and Monday”.
