Qwasi Blay Returns Home to Collaborate With Kyekyeku on New Film Project
Nigeria-based Ghanaian actor Qwasi Blay has returned to Ghana to team up with popular actor and filmmaker Kyekyeku on an upcoming cinema project, a partnership that underscores the deepening creative ties between Ghana’s and Nigeria’s entertainment industries.
Blay, widely known by his stage name “Most Wanted,” recently arrived in the country to join the highly anticipated production, which is being directed by Kyekyeku and is expected to premiere in cinemas upon completion. Details about the storyline and broader cast remain under wraps, but the collaboration has already generated considerable buzz among fans on both sides of the border.
Over the past several years, Blay has steadily built a reputation for versatility and strong screen presence. His career trajectory took a decisive turn when he crossed into Nollywood, where he forged a productive working relationship with acclaimed actress, screenwriter, and filmmaker Ruth Kadiri on multiple productions. That experience broadened his artistic range and introduced him to a wider West African audience.
His return to Ghana for this project marks another significant chapter in his career. It reflects the growing appetite for cross-border collaboration in the region’s film sector, as Ghanaian and Nigerian filmmakers increasingly pool talent and resources to reach broader audiences.
Kyekyeku, born Bismark Ofori, is one of the most recognisable figures in Ghana’s movie industry. He rose to prominence through his comic performances and frequent collaborations with fellow actor and comedian Dr. Likee, popularly known as Akabenezer. His productions and online content have attracted millions of views, with projects such as Kyekyeku Mad Man in Love helping to cement his popularity among audiences in Ghana and across the diaspora.
The partnership brings together two performers with experience across different entertainment markets, Blay’s Nollywood credentials and Kyekyeku’s deep roots in Ghana’s local film scene. Industry watchers say the combination could yield a production with broad appeal across West Africa and beyond.
Additional details about the film, including its title, supporting cast, and release timeline, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Fans can follow the project’s progress through the official social media platforms of both Kyekyeku and Qwasi Blay.
