The highly anticipated auditions for Scarlett Unveiled turned into one of the biggest independent film casting calls seen in recent times as over 300 aspiring and established actors stormed Studio 04 at MCB Studios, Lapaz Tabora, for a marathon audition session that lasted more than 16 hours.

Led by award-winning filmmaker Big Ghun and Media Personality and acclaimed producer Doreen Avio, the auditions attracted an impressive mix of A-list actors, rising talents, theatre performers, content creators, and first-time hopefuls all eager to be part of the upcoming Ghanaian feature film.

From the early hours of the morning until late into the night, Studio 04 remained filled with energy, emotion, and anticipation as actors from different parts of the country showcased their talent before the casting panel.

The turnout reflected the growing anticipation surrounding Scarlett Unveiled, a bold new Ghanaian project that combines film, literature, music, and youth engagement into one major cultural experience.

The producer of the project, Doreen Avio expressed excitement as it was her first time being a panel for auditions.

“Wow, I couldn’t believe my eyes, its my first time doing this and its been interesting seeing all these people especially the 83 year old man” she said

The project is based on the true story of a living individual and is expected to be produced and released soon.

The production has already secured strategic collaborations with the Embassy of Switzerland in Ghana,Woodin and Ayoba further positioning the film as one of the most ambitious independent Ghanaian productions currently in development.

Ghanaian musician and former member of musicial gorup, Dunsin, Ahmmed Kanneh Larweh, popularly known as Sparqlyn, has congratulated Ghanaian music heavyweight, Shatta Wale following his impressive double victory at the International Reggae and World Music Awards.

Shatta Wale recently made headlines after winning two major awards at the prestigious event held in Florida, USA, securing Best African Dancehall Entertainer and Concert of the Year for ShattaFest.

Reacting to the achievement, Sparqlyn could not hide his excitement after sighting news of the awards on Monday, May 18, 2025.

According to him, the one thing that caught his attention was the plaque presented to Shatta Wale. He noted that the design looked strikingly similar to the one Dunsin received when they won at the MUSA Awards over a decade ago.

The resemblance, especially the upper part of the plaque, instantly brought back memories of his former group’s historic moment on the African stage 13 years ago when the group represented Ghana proudly in South Africa.

It will be recalled that back in 2013, Dunsin achieved international recognition after winning Most Exciting Group in Africa and Most African Video at the MUSA Awards held in Pretoria, South Africa. The awards came on the back of their global hit project “Ɔyɛadeɛyie,” a song that helped elevate the group’s profile beyond Ghana.

At the time, Sparqlyn, then known by many as Kele within the group, was the one who represented Dunsin at the event to pick up the award.
