Movie producers deceive viewers with unrealistic clothes in Kanayo O Kanayo.
Kanayo claimed that most producers disagree with movie costumiers in an Instagram video.
The Popular Thespian encouraged the industry to always dress a rich man in more casual attire rather than an agbada or other traditional Senegal attire.
He claims that wealthy characters frequently wear agbada in movies, but that in real life, people recognize them by their pricey watches, shoes, and T-shirts.
He also criticizes the use of wigs and heavy makeup while sleeping usually by most female characters
He stated ;
“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.”
