Agya Koo, a veteran Kumawood actor, has confessed that he came close to becoming blind at some time during his acting career.
A recent interview with the comedic actor revealed that his medical condition forced him to shoot the majority of his films during the day.
It is his belief that the high voltage of the lights used in filming led to his experiencing vision problems.
According to the actor, he attracted the attention of several producers, who at the time were plotting to put his career to an abrupt end via a series of events.
Agya Koo revealed in an interview with Kumasi-based radio station, Angel FM, how he had been treated unfairly by several film producers, which resulted in his final blacklisting.
Mawule Ekpe Peter, the Public Relations Officer for the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG), has responded to the actor’s assertions by challenging him to present names of those who have worked with him.
Mr. Mawule went on to say that there are still producers that want the actor’s services and would be delighted to have him on set.
Communication between the actor and the anonymous producers, he said, was necessary in order for the former to revive his career.
