He said, “It has affected me because my fans don’t have the chance to enjoy me and it has also affected movie productions because it has affected the quality content that viewers need to see”.

Mr Beautiful added that the collapse of the movie industry should be blamed largely on the abysmal performance of the government followed by the actors and the producers.

"50% is from the government, 25% from both actors and actresses and 25% from production,” he explained.

Mr Beautiful indicated movie producers can use stories from Ghana and South Africa in their movies to tell good and authentic stories for their audience but the movie producers in Ghana feel reluctant because they don't know how to package such stories.



He stressed that the use of vulgar language in some local movies has also contributed largely to low patronage of the local movies.

“In Kumasi, the use of words like fool, animal, etc are seen as normal and not an insult but when it comes to Accra, Central, North, and you use these words, it’s a big issue. I started telling them that these vulgar words we are entertaining in the movies will affect us along the way but they didn’t agree with me” he said.
