Blows Over Ghanaian Actress

News One has gathered that the shoot of a new movie titled ‘Asylum Down’ did not end on a quiet note following reports that the lead cast of the movie tried re-enacting the movie’s script in real life.

Sources told this paper that Nigerian actor Scott Robert, one of the lead actors, was in a fight with a rising Ghanaian actor over lead actress Magdalene Mensah, while he was in Ghana for the shoot. Scott and the Ghanaian actor, whose name was given as David Hans, are both in love with Magdalene.

Both guys are very good friends who are madly in love with Magdalene to the extent that each of them tried to destroy the other to the actress. Unfortunately, they couldn’t succeed with their plans as the only option to win Magdalene was to physically assault each other.

NEWS-ONE’s source said “hell broke loose” at the Afrikiko Restaurant a couple of months ago when the two men engaged in a real fight in front of their friends and patrons at the pub over the actress. They broke bottles and were about to kill themselves. Producer Sorag, son of veteran producer Hammond Mensah of HM Films, and his friends managed to separate the two.

“Sorag was made to pay for damages they caused at Afrikiko. It was really crazy. The lady loves the Nigerian guy. You know some of these our Ghanaian ladies and Nigerian guys. But David was the one who made the move first and he has been talking to Scott about Magdalene. But Scott goes behind him to tell Magdalene other things,” the source added.

NEWS-ONE’s attempts to contact Scott, Magdalene and David proved futile. Producer Sorag won’t pick his calls to react. When this paper finally got through to him on Sunday morning, he said he was driving around Mallam Junction and would call back after reaching his office, but he did not.

The new movie features a number of rising actors from Ghana’s movie industry, with John Dumelo as one of the lead men.
