I wasn’t behind Agya Koo’s downfall in Kumawood – Popular Movie Director

Popular Kumawood Director Akwasi Boadu has explained that popular Ghanaian Actor Agya Koo born Kofi Adu became so powerful in the industry which forced some producers to plot his downfall.

“Ambassador I swear and this is the first time I’m saying this, I never initiated the downfall of Agya Koo as he (Agya Koo) and others accused me of” stated using swear words

According to Director Akwasi Boadu, “Kumawood Movie Industry and the producers should never dream of getting an actor who can compete with the record of Agya Koo”

Speaking in an interview with Ambassador TV Gh monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Director Akwasi Boadu emphasized that “Because the demand for Agya Koo in movies was too high, he became too powerful to the extent that when Agya Koo is not in Ghana, producers will halt all their works”

“As a young director, I decided to use Kwaku Manu, Kyeiwaa, Akrobeto, Rasta Nene, Lilwin and others to shoot a movie so that even if Agya Koo is not in Ghana, I will still get a movie to direct to feed myself and my family,” Director Akwasi Boadu told Osei Kwadwo

“Even with the number of actors and actresses I used to shoot movies,  Agya Koo’s demand was on the high and movie marketers were not willing to sell movies that never featured Agya Koo ” he explained

Director Akwasi Boadu added “It got to a point some directors and producers started using the actors I was using when Agya Koo wasn’t around and they realized that the money they used to pay Agya Koo could use to pay a lot of actors”

“I never used those actors to fight or bring down Agya Koo but I did that for the betterment of the industry Agya Koo had issues with me because he wasn’t happy about what I was doing” he explained

“Yes, Agya Koo was so powerful and sometimes he is the one who decided for some producers and directors but the move by some producers not to use Agya Koo again just to bring him down was a bad move and I will always condemn that move”.
