Frank Artus is one Ghanaian who many Naija actors see as a great threat these days, owing to his soaring profile since he came on the scene about 2 years ago. This handsome and daring Ghanaian actor has no doubt stolen the hearts of movie lovers and producers since his emergence in the Nigerian movie industry.

Since he made his Nollywood debut 2 years ago with a daring role in the movie, ‘One Last Feeling’, where he went all erotic with another adventurous actress Chinwe Isaac, there hasn’t been stopping Frank Artus.

Right now, the highly talented actor who has garnered several awards and fortune despite his short debut in Nollywood has practically knocked other Nigerian actors off the shelf and this obviously isn’t going down well with a lot of colleagues who now see him as a major threat.

Presently he said to be in a stiff battle with a lot of Nigerian actors who don’t like his gut. Frank is an actor who knows his impact in Nollywood and loves to blow his trumpet to the chastisement of his colleagues.

‘His arrogance and egoistic personality are among the reasons he is said to be have only female actresses as friend, said one director. An ugly scenario which played out on set of a movie titled ‘Mama Africa’, in Ilupeju, Lagos last week back has further paid put to the on-going rivalry between the Ghana act and some his of contemporaries.

According to what we gathered, the actor fought a top a Nigerian movie star, Chigozie Atuanya on the set of a big budget movie, which was being shot in Lagos. The two actors fell apart while they were shooting a scene that required physical molestation.

The source revealed that in the first part of the scene, Chigozie who played the character of a soldier according to the script beat up Frank with his fellow army officials but Frank who felt totally beaten up by the actor believed there was more to the beating as he confided in Tonto Dikeh, who was also on the set of the movie.

But rather than help matters, the actress we gathered fuelled the rift by convincing the Ghana actor that she heard Chigozie telling some friends that he would use that scene as an opportunity to beat up Frank. This angered the Ghana actor and he started planning revenge.

Unknown to the Nollywood star Chigozie who sources revealed had earlier apologized to Frank for the strong beating he received while the shoot was on, Frank merely pretended to have accepted the apology but he was already planning revenge.

The opportunity came for him in the next scene, where he was supposed to retaliate on the soldiers for beating him up earlier and he revenged by beating the Nigerian so hard that he inflicted wounds on the guy.

The movie shoot was called off for the day as a result of the injury while the actor sources revealed had to take a break to treat his wounds.

After a lot of colleagues in the industry had spoken to Frank on the issue, he became remorseful few days later and offered to a lip service apology and both have since moved on.

Chigozie who won the City People Best Actor Award last year is said to be the quite type unlike Frank who is the outgoing type and always seen in the company of actresses.
