Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has urged the public to
disregard the ‘sex for role’ claims in Nollywood.
It is reported that ‘sex for roles’ has
constantly rocked the Nigerian movie industry.
With many upcoming actresses claiming
that producers and directors deny them movie roles for refreshing their
advances.
Speaking on the issue in his Instagram
page on Wednesday, Kanayo asked the public not to believe what they were being
told concerning the issue of sex for roles.
According to the actor, many
up-and-coming actresses do not work hard and professionally to act out their
script as expected; a situation he described as shameful.
The veteran actor said: “When you hear of sex for roles in
Nollywood, please do not believe all you are told. Many of the girls are not
working hard to live up to the roles they are cast for. Quite a shame.”
