The criticisms have made the movie highly anticipated – Awilo Sharp

Veteran Nolly Actor, Awilo Sharp-Sharp born Victor Osuagwu has told critics of Kumawood Actor and Producer Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, to rather understand the storyline being told before they take the actor on.

He is of the view that an understanding of the story being told will give them a better perspective on why he needed to collaborate with actors from Nigeria.

“The criticism that was coming, we know the story, and we know the reason why the executive producer told us to come and work. People have refused to read the line and are just throwing in what they think. In a situation where social media has taken over it is bound to happen,” he said.

Awilo Sharp Sharp indicated that he believes the criticism has been a blessing in disguise since it has made the movie a highly anticipated one.

“The criticism is just giving free advert and publicity,” he said.

On Lilwin’s inability to speak English, Awilo Sharp Sharp indicated that he can speak the English needed to make the movie a success, and that is the most important thing.

Lilwin was heavily criticized for flying in Nigerian actors to shoot a movie when he could have fallen on his compatriots. Several pundits could not fathom why he would make this move which is not only economically draining but also does not benefit his country.
