Award-winning Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has proven she can be a good movie producer as well as an actress. Over the weekend, the actress left a very positive impression on the minds of movie enthusiasts and stakeholders in the Ghana movie industry with the first premiere of her movie, ‘Single & Married’.

Though patronage of movie premieres in recent times has not been encouraging, Yvonne’s premiere on Saturday was impressively attended. It was tagged the biggest premiere ever at the Silverbird Cinema as the turnout was huge. Even though official figures were conflicting, the premiere was said to have set a record attendance at the cinema.

The crowd, made up of Ghanaians, Ivorians, Liberians, Nigerians, Lebanese and Indians among others, showed love to the film cast and other celebrities as they arrived. There were a lot of screams and cheers for the stars. Most of the patrons took turns to take photos with Nelson, other members of the cast of the movie and celebrities.

Movie enthusiasts who saw ‘Single & Married’ expressed satisfaction at the storyline and production. For the next few weeks, the movie will still be showing at the cinema for all movie fans to see. A lot of Ghanaian stars including the movie’s cast also added some colour to the premiering ceremony with their presence. Among them were John Dumelo, Prince David Osei, Lydia Forson, Fred Nuamah, James Gardner, Khareema Aguiar, Salma Mumin, and Vincent McCauley.

Top female musicians Becca, Eazzy, Irene Logan and Deborah Vanessa also wowed the crowd at the premiere. Ghana’s Big Brother Stargame rep Keita, iconic presenter KOD, EKB Records boss Kiki Banson, Producer Abdul Salam and Director Frank Rajah all graced the occasion.

Efya, Chris Attoh, Eddie Watson and Kweku Elliot, who are part of the cast, were also present to spice up the event. The Ghanaian media also displayed great love by showing up in their numbers. It was indeed an amazing event with a lot of side attractions. It was more like a family for the celebrities. The celebrity swag and getting the red carpet star attention was really exciting to watch.

But John Dumelo upstaged Chris Attoh and other male actors at the event when he walked straight into the crowd, took pictures with Yvonne and gave her a peck on her lips in the full glare of their fans. Most of the cameras missed it because not everybody anticipated it.

John had said in one of his interviews that he enjoyed kissing Yvonne when they acted together. But it now looks like he wants to do it everywhere.

The Nigeria premiere of ‘Single & Married’ will take place this weekend.
