Nadia Buari Details Why She Became a Movie Producer: "I Was Tired of Being a Lover Girl"
Ghanaian screen goddess Nadia Buari has detailed why she became a movie producer in addition to acting.
According to the "Beyonce" actress, she grew bored of the typical movie roles and storylines.
During an appearance on TV3's The Afternoon Show on Wednesday, 23 October 2024, Nadia said: "I got into movie producing because I felt I wasn't challenged enough.
"Every time I got a script, it was either a lover girl or I was after somebody's boyfriend, and I just got tired of that."
She further explained her frustration with what she calls the industry's narrow casting scope, noting her love for thriller and horror genres, areas she felt were unexplored in her acting career.
Reflecting on her decision, Nadia added, "I felt I had too many stories, so I felt if I ventured into production, I could play the characters I wanted."
Her first production, Imogen Brown, which she directed herself, proved challenging. As a result, she entrusted directing to her brother in her subsequent projects.
