Renowned Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari has opened up on her transition from acting into movie production.

Nadia, a widely acclaimed actress known for playing rich daughter and other sweet girl roles, has been doing production in the past few years.

Speaking on TV3's The Afternoon Show on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, Nadia explained that she felt constrained by the repetitive nature of the characters offered.

"I got into movie producing because I felt I wasn't challenged enough. Every time I got a script, it was either a lover girl or I was after somebody's boyfriend, and I just got tired of that."

The actress, who describes herself as a "thriller and horror freak," expressed frustration with the limited scope of roles available to her.

"I felt I had too many stories, so I felt if I ventured into production, I could play the characters I wanted," she said.

She indicated that her first production, Imogen Brown, which she self-directed, was quite tedious, so she decided to hand over the directing part of the subsequent productions to her brother.

Watch her interview below:

So far, Nadia has produced four movies, allowing her to create the diverse characters she's always wanted to portray.
