He considers this as his breakthrough role after making appearances in a couple of tv shows and commercial. Speaking on THE Am CLUB Live on MX24TV, Emmanuel expressed his excitement about being a part of the multiple award-winning film.
“I can see myself as big star because being in movie with big stars like Adjetey Anang and Miss Lydia Forson is so great. I have always wanted to meet them and now I have worked with them” he said.

The film also features Ghanaian-German discovery of the year Eugene Boateng as well as Emmy Award-winning German actress Christiane Paul.
