Lilwin will act a fool. Sometimes lilwin goes off the script and improvise to act a fool and that is what Maame Dokono was talking about.

Seriously you have derailed in your ambition and Bitterness has occupied you any every sphere of life. Ghanaians have exhausted your appearance on screens so just retire yourself.
Acting is simply doing something or trying to play in a manner that can be assimilated or accepted to be original. We don’t need old people to carry the same information across. Where there is none we shall always improvised.
Keep your dirty silly jealousy behavior within your environs….please never shared them in public because you cannot insult our intelligence.

Madame Dokono you are right, is high time Ghanaian local language actors get serious. They're even distorting our culture. How come the wife of the king is the queen, no where in Ghana. But Akorabeto is the best.

Jay.pls stop deceiving yourself with your childish behavior. which class are you damn talking about.you are guys are making me sick in my stomach, how many of your so called class have made it to the Hollywood or their movies has made it to the worldwide markets.hello the name self they bore)? Your such a disgrace to human race.if you're not proud of your tribe,you better keep your damn lips zeep up.any time I watch your so call English movies from Accra with my friends here in USA,i 've to turn around and explain things to them again,because you hardly understand what's their all about. if they act on kingship they dress as if we don't have a cultural way of how our kings in Ghana dresses from the north to south. if Grace Omaboe thinks of making impact or giving them so kind of advice,she don't need to go to the media to spew nonsense,damn call the producer and give some common sense advice if she really want to help the movies industry to grow in Ghana rather then taking to media just to tarnish the image of the young man.this dude is a comedian so if she thinks the role given it to her needs a real elderly man,then talk to the producer......don't disturb public peace...

so this gold coast mentality is why she couldn't do much. is grace omaaboe forgetting she only did obra? which is considered more local than the current kumawood movies? at least lilwin travels abroad to work! obra never took her that far.

her reason is unprofessional and unjust. this is just skin pain of lilwin's status or the silent tribal hatred for anything Akan showing through her actions!

somebody whisper into her ears that lilwin is bigger and successful than her. she's probably scared she won't shine acting next to him.

People, please chill!! I guess Maame Dokono, did not articulate herself well. In as much as I like Lilwin, I think he sometimes takes his role too far with some of the "unnecessary remarks/comments", he makes. One might argue that it is all for the fun of the movie, but you will agree with me that he sometimes goes too far. I guess all Maame Dokono is trying to put across, is that the acting as portrayed by the Kumawood actors/actresses must have some integrity. And I agree that a lot of editing should be done to make the movies more appealing. Lilwin sometimes takes his roles too far, and thus makes a nuisance of himself.

You're right bro. The insults are too much and what are we portraying to our kids and younger ones. Please producers do proper editing before selling the movies.

Lilwin`s movies are full of fowl languages. Children watch but the kind of unprintable words in some of them is very worrying. So Maame Dokono is right to deny the offer.

Hey, wait a minute, Maame Dokono. What are you talking about? You were only being asked to "play" a wife. So what's your problem?. The fact that you took it so literally confirms that you are NOT a good actress. Ama McBrown plays so many different roles and is extremely versatile in her ability to play such roles. Also she is beautiful and you are NOT. Even Lilwn is much better looking than you.
