Popular Ghanaian actor and entrepreneur, Van Vicker, has opened up about longstanding money owed him and many of his colleagues by renowned Ghanaian movie producer, Abdul-Salam Mumuni of Venus Films.
During an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM’s Ekwanso Dwoodwoo drive-time show, the award-winning actor revealed that while Abdul-Salam played a pivotal role in his career, their professional relationship has not been without controversy.

According to Van Vicker, it was Abdul-Salam who discovered him in 2007 and brought him into the limelight through his masterclass movie, Beyonce.
However, the actor recalled that their relationship later suffered some friction over monetary issues. He recounted how, at the time, Abdul-Salam went on radio in Kumasi and suggested that he was going to bring his career down, but as God would have it, he is still here.
Despite the challenges, Van Vicker said they reconciled and worked together again and around 2015, Abdul-Salam brought him on board for a television series.

He added that even though the work was properly executed, the producer still owes him and several other actors for that particular project as well as others.
Van Vicker stressed that his revelation was not intended to tarnish the image of Abdul-Salam, whom he still respects as a seasoned producer, but rather to highlight that actors deserve to be paid for their toil.
He also noted that If for any reason a producer cannot pay, they should at least communicate openly and honestly with the actors involved.
