Rumor is grinding hot and still making waves in the entertainment industry as this week we zoom straight into one of Ghana`s fast growing movie production house to see the wahala and the issues there. Ruffy Samuel Quansah who is known in show business as �Honey Cuchucuchi�, a name he got after he starred in a TV commercial for telecommunications giant Tigo is in hot waters due to a fracas going on in his production house called Young Father. The informant who leaked the information to Flex has it that Ruffy Samuel has threatened to ban Nollywood diva Tonto Dinke for bolting away with his money on a breach of contract. The source added that Tonto who was brought into the country by Ruffy to shoot two movies titled �My worst Saviour� and �Love and lust� respectively, pocketed a sum of 6000 US Dollars she charged for both movies but left the job unfinished. News making rounds had it that Tonto`s abrupt exit on set was largely due to unfair treatment by the producer Ruffy, including shooting deep into the night till day break which was not part of the agreement and some negative attitudes which were exhibited by some Ghanaian actors who played truancy on the day of shooting hence fueling all kinds of serious grudges among artistes. The two movies which are being directed by ace Nigerian director John Izedonmi has �My worst saviour� as its working title whiles the current one �Love and lust� is on hold. It stars gurus such as Ruffy Samuels, Kofi Adjorlolo, Jackie Appiah, Tonto Dike, Kalsoum Sinare, Shangai and a new comer John Gardener whom they described as Majid alike. Reports reaching us before press time was that after the threats meted out by Producer Ruffy to Tonto, she has agreed to return to Ghana on the 2nd of November to start shooting. There were other reports of the production manager David Osei treating the crew members on set as slaves and not being paid what was due them. When Flex contacted the Chief Executive Officer of Young Father productions Ruffy Samuel Quansah aka �Honey Cuchicuchi, he said all the allegations have been misconstrued from source but Tonto is still on the work. He continued that she has four more scenes to shoot but has traveled to Nigeria to attend to some pressing needs, but will be back on 2nd November to continue shooting. On the issue of low payment, he admitted that there is no heaven in any production house currently so if any body says the pay was low then its up to him. He challenged this reporter to come on his set on the 2nd of November to see things for himself as to whether what he has heard is the truth.
