Van Vicker explains why he didn't star in Lil Win's "A Country Called Ghana"

Ghanaian actor Van Vicker has addressed allegations suggesting that he turned down a role in the movie "A Country Called Ghana" during the casting period.

In a recent interview on Hello FM, Van Vicker clarified the circumstances that led to his absence from the film.

According to Van Vicker, he was approached by the movie's director, Frank Gharbin, who expressed interest in having him feature in the film.

During the negotiation stage, Frank Gharbin proposed a 30-day shoot.

Van Vicker explained that he was unable to commit to such an extensive period due to his educational commitments and suggested a 10-day shoot instead.

Van Vicker stated, "I communicated my availability for a 10-day shoot because I was in school at the time, and 30 days was too long for me to be away."

He further mentioned that after this discussion, he did not hear back from the director and was surprised to hear in the media that he had turned down the role.

The movie, "A Country Called Ghana," eventually cast Nollywood actor Ramsey Nouah in the role originally intended for Van Vicker.

The film, which is currently in its premiering stage, has already garnered several awards. Some movie fans have criticized actor Lil Win, who is the producer of the movie, for bringing in Nigerian actors for the film.

Van Vicker's clarification sheds light on the negotiation challenges that prevented his participation, rather than any unwillingness to collaborate on the project.
