The 'lover girl' roles were not challenging enough for me - Nadia Buhari

Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari has revealed her reasons for branching into movie production alongside her acting career.

In an interview with TV3 on Wednesday, October 23, Nadia Buari shared that she was tired of being cast in 'lover girl' roles and sought more challenging opportunities.

"I got into movie producing because I felt I wasn’t being challenged enough. The scripts I was receiving and the roles I played were not challenging enough," she explained.

She described herself as a fan of thrillers and horror, genres that were not reflected in the roles she was offered.

"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."

Buari decided to take control of her career by producing her own movies, allowing her to explore a wider range of characters.

"I had too many stories, and I felt like if I ventured into producing my own movies, I could play the character I have always wanted to play," she said.

Since making this decision, Nadia Buari has produced four movies and continues to expand her portfolio.

After a break from acting, she returned to the screen with the film 'Forever in a Night,' produced by John N. Okwugo and directed by Jameel Buari.
