I am not like any other actress – Caroline Danjuma

Actress Caroline Danjuma is letting everyone who cares to listen that she is not like any of her colleagues. She has her own attributes that, makes her thick.

Speaking with Sunday Scoop, Caroline who recently lost her mum said;

“I am different from any other actress because I am Caroline and there can never be another Caroline. Nobody can interpret roles the way I do and I cannot interpret roles like my colleagues do too.  Everyone has their own strength and weakness. I have so much to offer than my beauty. I have my brain; so, no one can push me aside.”

On some of the factors that had discouraged her from producing movies in recent times;
“It is really tough for producers. I won a lot of awards for the two movies, In the Cupboard and Stalker, I produced three years ago, but I didn’t recoup the money I invested in them. Piracy makes producers struggle to get returns on investments. We also have very few cinemas in the country and the existing ones rip you off by taking 70 percent of the profit of your creative work.

“Sometimes, it takes us five years to write a script and put a movie together. By the time you are done, someone else enjoys 75 percent of it and you are left with literally nothing. All these have discouraged me from producing because I am not a ‘monkey that would work for a baboon to eat’. After my movie is pirated, the cinema will also take 70 percent of what I have worked for? It doesn’t make sense.”

On factors she considers before accepting movie roles, she said;

“I look at the location, characters and the pay I’m taking home. If I am going to give my all, I need you to give me your 100 percent as well. I have bills to pay; I cannot do charity work.”
