Movie director Leila Djansi has stated that there is
absolutely no bad blood between herself and her
fellow award-winning filmmaker, Shirley
Frimpong-Manso.
The tough competition exhibited among the two
by their productions has fueled speculations
that they have some rivalry that has degenerated
into enmity.
Indeed, though they are in the same industry
they have never been spotted together until they
were announced as co-winners for the Best
Director Award category at the recent Ghana
Movie Awards.
Both directors had to mount the stage to receive
the award which was presented by renowned
actress Akorfa Ejiene Asiedu.
Shirley, in receiving the award, announced she
was privileged to be on stage with Leila while
the 'Northern Affair' director also congratulated
Shirley.
Media reports after the show described their
gesture as a 'melodrama reconciliation' to bury
the hatchet.
Leila, however, told NEWS-ONE that she had no
issues with Shirley. She said they were not
enemies and as such the issue about
reconciliation was neither here nor there.
"We are not enemies. I don't really understand
why somebody will say that we are," she added.
Leila has to her credit some very good films
including the recently produced 'Northern
Affair', 'Sinking Sands' and 'Ties That Bind'/em>.
Shirley also recently premiered her latest film,
'Potomanto'. Some of her previous award-
winning movies include 'A Sting In A Tale', 'Life
and Living It', '6 Hours To Christmas', 'Adams
Apple' and 'Checkmate'.
