Kwaku Manu revealed that he was sidelined for four years because of ongoing problems in the movie industry.

He criticized the way finances are handled, pointing out that funds intended for experienced actors are often redirected to newer actors who have recently gained fame.

According to him, this practice undervalues the contributions of veteran actors and negatively impacts their ability to make a living.

“When the industry got Kwaku Manu, they got apostle John Pra and they got Akrobeto. When you feature all these actors, people would want to watch so it would favour the producers.

“But what they do is that the money they are supposed to use to pay the big actors, they would rather share it among the new famed actors,” he claimed.
