Veteran actress, Grace Omaboe aka ‘Maame Dokono’ has revealed that she turned down an offer to act with popular Kumawood actor, Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin.
The decision to turn down the offer, she said had nothing to do with the appearance of the actor or anything to do with the Kumawood movies and its contents.
Instead, it was based on the role assigned her in the undisclosed movie.
“I was called by one of these Kumawood movie makers and he wanted me to come and play a role in a movie which would feature Lilwin and my role would be his wife in the movie…how? I turned down that role immediately…,” she said.
The celebrated actress of ‘Obra’ fame said she could not see herself playing the role of Lilwin’s wife in a movie.
“Come on, you know this guy, he would make some derogatory comments which would try to ridicule my integrity as an old woman…he would poke fun at you and that is why I turned down that offer…”she explained in an interview with Kwame Manukure on Oman FM.
Maame Dokono also expressed disgust at the rate at which the comedian/actor is made to play the role of an Old man in a movie ‘when clearly there are aged actors who can play the role better’.
On her Obra series, Maame Dokono said their latest series would be shown on GTV this Christmas.
She revealed they are yet to shoot two of the series.
To make the series very lively as it was then, Maame Dokono said qualified persons have been recruited to play the roles of departed members of the group like S.K Oppong, B Kissi and several others.
