On October 7, Juliet Asante, CEO of the National Film Authority (NFA), shared the news of Fella’s role, highlighting her in action with a captivating photo. This initiative is part of Ghana’s broader mission to collaborate with other African nations, enhancing opportunities for local talent in global cinema.
Directed by the acclaimed Kunle Afolayan, ‘Anikulapo’ is backed by Netflix and aims to spotlight Ghana as an emerging hub for film production through the NFA’s #ShootInGhana agenda. Asante expressed her appreciation for the collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, the Ghana Tourism Authority, and the Ghana Museums & Monuments Board, emphasizing the importance of these partnerships in promoting Ghanaian cinema.
Fella Makafui, celebrating this milestone on her Instagram, announced that she will portray the character “Abena” in Season 2. The show delves into life in pre-colonial times, offering a rich narrative that intertwines history and culture.
Fella’s dedication to her craft, including her commitment to learning the Yoruba language for her role, reflects her passion for acting and her desire to contribute meaningfully to the series. This opportunity not only elevates her career but also strengthens the cultural ties between Ghana and Nigeria in the film industry.
