Veteran Ghanaian actor Agya Koo revealed in a recent interview that he has not yet had the chance to collaborate with award‑winning filmmaker Shirley Frimpong‑Manso, even though the two have been prominent figures in the country’s film scene for years.
“I have worked with almost all the big, renowned and prominent producers in the country. The only producer I haven’t worked with is my little sister, Shirley Frimpong‑Manso,” Koo said, noting that the filmmaker had approached him on a few occasions but scheduling conflicts kept them apart.
Despite the missed opportunities, Koo expressed hope that a partnership will eventually happen, describing a collaboration with Frimpong‑Manso as a “welcome addition” to his already illustrious career.
The actor also reflected on his role in Ghana’s movie industry, claiming he has not received enough recognition despite being honoured during former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s administration. He recalled a time when his popularity was so high that film titles such as “Agya Koo Part 1” and “Agya Koo Part 2” carried his name.
He attributes much of his success to faith, recalling prayers that would help promote Ghanaian movies when Nigerian productions dominated the local market.
Fans and industry insiders alike are watching to see if the long‑awaited collaboration between the two will finally come to fruition.
