Moving on, Lil win came into the limelight and started taking prominent roles in the movie industry after featuring movies with Kwaku Manu for sometime.
According to Isaac, Kwaku Manu wasn’t gaining movie roles like how he used to due to the fact that most producers looked up to Lil win. Adding that, Kwaku Manu was no longer the one who was moved by those in Kumasi, it was now Lil win. Lil win had the cheer of the people due to the fact that his image sold movies and generated lots of revenue.

The columnist added that Akrobeto stayed professional despite the fact that Agya koo and Kwaku Manu refused to act along with Lil win, Akrobeto did otherwise labeling his act as professional. He also commended Akwasi Boadi for his versatility and good acting.
