Veteran movie producer Ivan Quashigah, known for bringing Ghanaians beloved telenovelas such as ‘Things We Do for Love’ and ‘YOLO‘, has revealed what he believes would be the panacea to all the problems facing the movie industry.
According to Quashigah, cheaply available foreign telenovelas are the main cause of the decline in the Ghanaian industry and the way forward is for the government to place a ban on them.
Veteran actor Fred Amugi has warned about the influx of foreign telenovelas which is normalizing foreign cultures in the eyes of Ghanaians.
According to the actor, this could lead to a breed of younger Ghanaians falling in love with what they see on tv and becoming idol worshippers like the Hindu.
Adom TV’s Kumkum Bhagya host, Tima Yeboah on Friday, January 19 was robbed at gunpoint.
She was robbed on her way home after the ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ television series at around 11:30 pm.
One of the clear and present dangers to Ghanaian culture is the wholesale adoption of fake a$$ accents by most of our actors/actresses, the same people always complaining that foreign content is taking over Ghanaian stations and driving them out of business.
It’s not appropriate for local tv stations to show ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ and other ‘twi-novellas’ to make money but it’s cool for Ghanaian actors who have lived here all their lives to suddenly develop incoherent foreign accents.
Minister of Communication Ursula Owusu Ekuful has hit out at local stations telecasting foreign content such as Kumkum Bhagya whilst ignoring local shows.
According to the minister, the digital platform and the opportunities it presents should be used to promote our local culture and not Indian and foreign culture.
Artist manager Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, aka Bulldog, has hit out at Ghanaians for being enslaved to anything foreign and never supporting anything that comes from our own.
Bulldog’s comments come in the wake of the visit of the stars of Indian soap Kumkum Bhagya to Ghana and the sort of reception given to them by fans of the show.
The first of several planned events involving the stars of the Indian soap Kumkum Bhagya came off late Friday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The event saw teeming fans of the show at the venue in their numbers to meet the actors and actresses who grace their tv screens every weeknight.
Ghanaians love for this telenovela is forcibly turning us into experts and we can now mention names and stuff.
This is an obsession difficult to fathom, although perhaps to each his own.
The stars of the Indian soap opera which is extremely popular in Ghana, Kumkum Bhagya, have landed in country for a fan meet and greet and concert.
The event, the first of its kind, brings the Indian stars of the show, which has been translated into twi, to meet their over eager fans in Ghana.
Well, they are currently in India so can you blame them? They are just taking the ‘Ghana life’ down there.
Kumkum Bhagya is the ish in Ghana now and if a whole second lady went to meet the stars why not so-called U-17 players.
Host of the Kumkum Bhagya, Cynthia Tima Yeboah — popular known Tima Kumkum — turned 30 over the weekend. And the host of the most popular TV Show in the country hosted a birthday party for herself to mark the milestone. The birthday party was held at the Royal Holiday Chinese restaurant in Accra.

Actors, producers and directors in Kumasi are planning a demonstration against the influx of telenovelas onto local television stations.
In a petition addressed to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II outlining their plans, the movie industry players say the influx of these foreign language soaps translated into twi is not only inhibiting the growth of the local movie industry but is also eroding Akan culture and implanting foreign ones on it.
A lot of people in numerous roles in the Ghanaian movie industry, both English Language and Akan, have complained endlessly about the negative impact foreign soaps are having on their growth.
These soaps are immensely popular and on free to air tv, therefore the argument is that support is provided to them in terms of sponsorship and viewership at the expense of the local movies/shows.
