Ghanaian actor and filmmaker Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, has broken down in tears while recounting the challenges he faced during the production of his upcoming film, Nzulezu: A Journey to Africa, which features several Nollywood stars.

In a video shared online, LilWin described how the production encountered an unexpected setback after three days of shooting, when the Nigerian actors reportedly refused to return to the filming location because of concerns about travelling on water.

The production team had to travel by boat for approximately 40 minutes to reach Nzulezu, a community in Ghana’s Western Region known for its houses built on stilts above a lagoon. The location was central to the film’s storyline, which explores the community and its distinctive way of life.

Recounting the incident, LilWin said the actors asked him to move the production elsewhere, a request that threatened to disrupt the project because the story was built around Nzulezu.

“After three days of shooting the movie, all the stars said they would not return to the set or travel on the water again. They asked for the movie to be shot somewhere else, but the storyline was about Nzulezu, where people live on the water, and the entire story was based there. All the stars refused to go back on the water to continue shooting, and there was confusion,” he said.

Despite his frustration, the filmmaker acknowledged that the actors had reasons to be concerned about their safety. He linked their reluctance to a previous incident in which a Nigerian actor reportedly drowned while filming a water scene.

“I don’t blame the Nigerian stars because, not long ago, one of their colleagues drowned and died while shooting a water scene for a movie. So, to some extent, I understood their concerns,” he added.
