Ghanaian actor and comedian Kwadwo Nkansah
Ghanaian actor and comedian Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, has boldly declared that he has no competitor in the Kumawood movie industry.
The award-winning entertainer made this statement during an exclusive interview with Papa Jay of Poleeno Multimedia.
According to Lilwin, one of the reasons he has slowed down with acting in recent years is due to the lack of competition in the Kumawood scene.
He explained that, unlike the Ghanaian music industry where artists like Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, and Stonebwoy constantly challenge each other to be better, the Kumawood movie industry lacks such rivalry and that has limited his own drive to push further.
His comments come as he ramps up promotions for his highly anticipated film, Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Last African Hero, which is set to premiere on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at the SG Mall in Kumasi.
The movie, which pays tribute to the revolutionary spirit of Burkina Faso’s young leader Ibrahim Traoré, is expected to make a strong impact both locally and internationally.
Lilwin has been actively speaking about the movie in various media appearances. In several interviews, he revealed that the project cost him over $500,000 to produce.
The star-studded film is already generating buzz, with fans and industry players eagerly waiting to see what the self-acclaimed King of Kumawood has created.
