‘DON’T INSULT ACTORS WHEN THEY BEG FOR SUPPORT’ – Actor Sunsum To Ghanaians

Kumawood actor, Yaw Adu popularly known as Sunsum Ahuofe, has beckoned Ghanaians to show compassion for entertainers who approach the public for support.

He claims that some actors feel forced to ask for assistance because their movie earnings are not as high as the public believes.

He claimed that after putting in a lot of time on set, most performers are taken advantage of by their film producers.

Sunsum cited his own experience as a frequent victim of similar circumstances to support his argument.

“Since I got into the movie industry I have been cheated financially on several occasions by producers. In the ‘King of the Night’ movie, I shot 37 scenes while Agya Koo shot 2 scenes. Upon all my hard work, I was given just 150 cedis. So, if I end up begging for money in the future, someone would criticize me that I misused my funds but it was the fault of my fellow black man [producer] who deprived me of the right amount I deserved.

“My movie titled ‘Abro Ne Beyie’ made good sales that I could have built like ten houses but I earned just 100 cedis. We sabotage ourselves in the industry so people should not blame our actors when they find themselves in such difficult situations financially,” he stated in an interview with Kumasi-based Hello FM monitored by GhanaWeb.

Rather than criticizing them, he asked the audience to stand with performers who might ask for their assistance.
