Agya Koo, a veteran actor from Ghana, believes that his lack of roles during a specific time period contributed to the downfall of the Kumawood film industry.
Speaking on Kumasi-based radio station Ezra FM, the well-known actor claimed to be the most marketable Ghanaian actor and stated that he felt that his exclusion had a big effect on the industry.
Agya Koo reflected on the once-vibrant Kumawood industry, pointing out that his name was widely associated with Ghanaian cinema, particularly among the diaspora of Ghanaians, particularly in the United States.
Inquiries concerning Ghanaian films, he emphasized, would inevitably include this crucial question: “Is Agya Koo part of the cast?” Until he was sidelined, he claimed that this demonstrated his unparalleled marketability and influence at the time.
“Though I was not the only one acting at the time, any time people wanted to watch Ghanaian movies, they mentioned the name Agya Koo. Why didn’t they ask for someone else’s name?” he stated.
Agya Koo released a new song to support Kennedy Agyapong’s presidential campaign earlier this month, ahead of the ruling New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential elections.
Agya Koo has made it clear that he supports the Assin Central Member of Parliament and has spoken out strongly about the businessman’s capacity to lead the nation following his defeat.
Agya Koo has disclosed how he introduced Rose Mensah, better known as Kyeiwaa, his colleague, to the film business.
Agya Koo disclosed in a recent interview that he saw Kyeiwaa perform live and was taken aback by her performance.
Later on, he chatted with a few individuals who reached out to him and brought her to this location. But Mercy Aseidu, a fellow actress, offered her a place to sleep since she didn’t have anywhere to sleep.
After that, they began performing together, which is how she gained widespread recognition.
