Nollywood veteran actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, has cautioned
filmmakers against misleading costumes in movies.
The actor in a video shared on Instagram advised the
Industry to always make a rich man dressed in more comfortable outfits rather
than in agbada or Senegal regalia.
While noting that most filmmakers do not align with movie
costumes, Kanayo said rich characters often wear Agbada in movies, while in
real life they are known by their expensive wristwatches, footwear, and
T-shirts.
Also condemning how female characters sleep with their wigs
and full makeup, he stated that “Many Nollywood Producers paint the wrong
picture of costumes in movies all in the name of fine pictures. It’s
misleading.
“The reality is that many practitioners have yet to realize
that filmmaking is part of an agenda setting in national development,
especially the tradition and culture of the people.
“The rich most of the time dress casually. Many are known
through their expensive footwear, T-shirt, and wrist watches not by Agbada.
“How can a man be resting in his house fully dressed?How can
a woman be adorned with full makeup while cooking? Most ladies sleep with their
wigs on, with applied facial foundation. Dear colleagues, let’s watch it.
“This is what the music industry has done with Afrobeat. And
now, they all get paid like they hit a jackpot. Nollywood can do better than
them”, Kanayo stated.
