Ghanaian actor and television host Van Vicker has revealed that his Nigerian colleague Ramsey Nouah completed his entire role in Lilwin’s film A Country Called Ghana in just ten days.
The father of three mentioned that he was initially considered for the role played by Ramsey Nouah but was ultimately turned down by Lilwin and the film’s director, Fiifi Garbin.
Van expressed his desire to film his scenes within ten days, while Lilwin and Fiifi Garbin suggested one month.
Due to his academic commitments, Van felt he could not afford to dedicate that much time to the project.
Speaking on Hello FM, he expressed his surprise when they chose Ramsey Nouah, who also managed to complete his filming in the same ten-day timeframe.
“As a matter of fact, Fii Frank Garbin called me and said he wants me to play the role Ramsey played in that movie. So I wanted to know when are we shooting because I was in school. He got back and said the producer says they need me for one month.
I said one month is too much What are we filming? You should know that with actors, the more days you require, the more fees I will charge so the earlier you finish the better. So you need me for one month; are you sure you can pay me for one full month? So I told him for one month I can’t do the work because I’m in school.
I told him what I could do was ten days, and if he could do ten days then I would do the work. Later he said the ten days won’t work. Can you believe that later I saw that Ramsey came to do the work. I was tracking the job and can you believe Ramsey used ten days to do the job?
I didn’t say I wasn’t going to do the work at all. I gave a counter-proposal. Even if he had come to negotiate an improvement on the days he could have reached an agreement, the person they brought also did 10 days,” he said.
