responsibility of movie makers to ensure that any scene that contain nudity and obscurity are edited out of the movies before they are released for public viewing.
There have been concerns over the recent influx of nude movies with the actors and producers taking a chunk of the blame.
They have been accused of promoting nudity in Ghanaian movies while others have described the practice as an affront on Ghana’s rich cultural heritage.
Speaking to Adom News, John Dumelo stated that though actors and actresses have contributed to the promotion of nudity in Ghanaian movies, the onus lies on the movie makers who are to ensure that nude scenes are edited before the movies are brought to the market.
He conceded to the fact that the nudity in Ghanaian movies is becoming too much and called for an immediate end to it.
He said there have been occasions that he appealed to producers to edit some nude scenes he played which the producers agreed, only for him to see the unedited versions being sold in the market.
He told Adom News that he feels bad when he sees some of the extreme nude scenes he featured in but added that, once the movie is out nothing can be done about it.
The Ghanaian superstar has advocated for more collaboration between them and other African countries, apart from the usual collaboration with their Nigerian counterparts to strengthen the movie industry in Africa.
Meanwhile, John says contrary to what was happening sometime back when Nigerian movies dominated the Ghanaian market, Ghanaian movies are making great inroads into the Nigerian market.
He added that Ghanaian actors and actresses are making great impact in Nigeria and have been accepted in the country as though they were nationals of Nigeria.
In related development actress, Gloria Osei Sarpong said morals should be one of the basic factors movie makers should consider before they release a movie onto the market.
She told Adom News that increase in nudity and pornography in Ghanaian movies is as a result of lack of creativity on the part of movie directors.
“There are so many ways to depict [romance] without necessarily showing nude parts of actors or actresses; it all depends on the creativity of the director”, she stated.
But another award winning Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson said she sees nothing wrong with nudity in Ghanaian movies.
She is of the view that Ghanaians patronize pornographic movies of foreign origin than what people call Ghanaian pornography.
