Agya Koo, a well-known Ghanaian actor, believes that the reason for the decline of the Kumawood movie industry was due to him being left out from acting during a specific time.
During an interview on Ezra FM, a radio station in Kumasi, the well-known actor shared his opinion that excluding him had a tangible effect on the entertainment sector. He confidently stated that he continues to be the most sought-after actor in Ghana. “They excluded me, and currently they are accusing the rise of CDs for the decline of the industry, which is unfounded.” “But their refusal to acknowledge this truth is something that Agya Koo expressed frustration about.” Agya Koo looked back on the thriving Kumawood film industry and mentioned that his name was closely linked with Ghanaian cinema, particularly among Ghanaians living abroad, particularly in the United States.
He stressed that when discussing Ghanaian films, one question that would always come up is: “Does Agya Koo appear in the movie?” This served as proof of his exceptional popularity and impact at that time until he was pushed to the sidelines.
“Even though there were others involved, whenever people wanted to watch Ghanaian movies, Agya Koo was always the name they mentioned.” “He questioned the reason for not requesting the name of another individual.” Before the recent presidential elections of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) this month, Agya Koo released a new song in favor of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign for presidency.
Agya Koo has openly expressed his support for the Member of Parliament for Assin Central and was very vocal about the businessman’s ability to lead the country despite his defeat.
