Agya Koo hopes to finally work with filmmaker Shirley Frimpong-Manso

Veteran actor Agya Koo says he is still hoping to work with filmmaker Shirley Frimpong-Manso, a collaboration that has yet to happen despite their prominence in Ghana’s movie industry. Speaking to Graphic Showbiz, the actor said Frimpong-Manso is among the few leading producers he has not worked with. He explained that she had approached him on a few occasions, but scheduling difficulties kept them from making a project together. Agya Koo said he has worked with almost all the country’s major producers and described Frimpong-Manso as the notable exception. He remains optimistic that they could find an opportunity to collaborate in the future. The actor also reflected on his own contribution to Ghanaian filmmaking, saying he believes his efforts have not received enough recognition. He recalled being honoured during the administration of former President John Agyekum Kufuor, while maintaining that his impact on the industry deserves wider appreciation. He pointed to the period when his popularity was reflected in films carrying his name, including titles such as “Agya Koo Part 1” and “Agya Koo Part 2.” He also credited his faith in God for helping him pursue his ambition of promoting Ghanaian movies when Nigerian productions were prominent in the local market.
