Lydia Forson: ‘Picture Perfect’ girls have put their differences behind

Sparrow Pictures (Sparrow Productions) has recently revealed exciting news for all the film lovers that it is all set to bring the sequel of the award winning movie titled ‘The Perfect Picture’ earlier next year. ‘The Picture Perfect’ was released almost ten years back which gives the sequel a title of ‘The Picture Perfect – Ten Years Later’. 

The director of ‘The Perfect Picture’ and its sequel, Shirley Frimpong-Manso made an exclusive appearance in a recent press conference in which she revealed that she has called the cast of ‘The Perfect Picture’ back on set after ten years and it’s amazing. However, according to Ghana Television reports, Ghanaians are quite surprised by the news of upcoming sequel as the relationship between the lead actresses, Lydia Forson, Jackie Appiah, and Naa Ashorkor was ruined at the completion of the movie, ten years back. It all happened at the 2010 Africa Movie Academy Awards (AAAs) when three of them were crowned Africa’s Best Actress and the confusion broke out about who should get the AAAs statue. 

The confusion was basically not about the AAAs statue instead it was about the competition that who is the most deserving actress. Most of the people suggested the award should go to Jackie Appiah, so she ended up keeping the AAAs statue. No doubt, Jackie kept the award but lost the friendship between the lead actresses. However for now, according to Lydia Forson, they have put their past differences aside because they are mature now. While talking exclusively at the press conference, she said, they are very happy to be on the set after ten years as it’s like a happy reunion. 

About the difference between now and then, Lydia said, “The difference between now and then is that we are all older and matured. We understand ourselves a little bit more. We understand the industry; we understand what it means to be an actor. So, we are all coming at this with a lot of maturities, a lot of understanding and love. It is like a school reunion. We are laughing on set every day remembering things we did 10 years ago.” 

When one of the journalists asked the actress about how the lead actresses are coping up now as their friendship wasn’t ended up well because of the AAAs 2010, to which Lydia replied, “As I said, we are coming at this with a lot of maturity. There is a lot more mature now. We were young then and there was a lot we didn’t know. We didn’t know how media worked. There was a lot of confusion at some point and that’s why I said this is the best time for us to do this because we are genuinely friends now.”
