Popular Kumawood actress and producer Vivian Jill has reassured fans that the Kumawood film industry is far from dead, despite the challenges it faces.
In a recent viral interview, Vivian explained that while the industry continues to produce movies, it has become increasingly difficult to bring together many top actors for a single project due to their busy schedules.
“Right now, everyone is busy. Even I am about to start a new project,” she said. “If you call anyone, they are all occupied. I recently worked on a project and tried to reach Nana Ama McBrown, but she was tied up with something else. I called Mathilda, and she was also on set. Last week, I needed another actress, but she couldn’t make it because she was also on set.”
She dismissed the notion that Kumawood is struggling, attributing the perceived slowdown to the bustling schedules of its stars. “It’s not that there’s an issue with Kumawood or the industry. Everyone is just busy,” she clarified.
Vivian also expressed optimism about the future of Kumawood, revealing plans for a major project aimed at bringing top talents such as Agya Koo and Lil Win together.
“It’s just a matter of getting everyone at once. But we’ll definitely be doing something big to show that Kumawood is still here and thriving,” she added.
Her comments come amidst ongoing concerns about the state of the Kumawood industry, with critics citing challenges like economic hardships, lack of support, and even allegations of witchcraft as possible factors.
Vivian’s reassurance serves as a positive message to fans, affirming that Kumawood remains vibrant and ready to shine again.
