Popular Kumawood actor and film producer LilWin, known in real life as Kwadwo Nkansah, has revealed his ambitious plan to feature Hollywood stars in his upcoming movie, ‘A Journey to Africa’.
This follows the success of his previous film, A Country Called Ghana, which starred top Nollywood actors like Ramsey Nouah, Charles Awurum, and Victor Osuagwu (Awilo Sharp Sharp).
However, LilWin admits that realizing this dream depends heavily on securing substantial financial support from the government or private investors.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, LilWin emphasized that funding is the biggest challenge.
“I know some people will ridicule my ambition, but I know my abilities. If I get private or government funding, I can get Hollywood actors to star in my next production,” he said.
He appealed for support, stating, “I want to see the industry grow and remain relevant, which is why I’m appealing to the government and individual investors.”
LilWin disclosed that he spent $40,000 (approximately GH₵621,241) to secure Ramsey Nouah as the lead actor in ‘A Country Called Ghana’ and an additional $100,000 on promotions, including branding a new vehicle to market the movie.
“Everything depends on money. If I have the funds, no actor from anywhere will turn down my offer. Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of money,” he explained.
