Arukwe who spoke in an interview with Pulse said then,
filmmakers cast actors based on social media followers rather than talent.
Speaking further, the 40-year-old actor admitted that it was
a “big” challenge for him during his days to match up the standard.
He said; “I remember all so clearly when I started. It was a
big problem for me. There was a time in this industry when it was mostly about
Instagram and Twitter followers, and stuff like that.
“I didn’t understand it but knew it was something I had to
be at peace with because a production house wants to hire you and they’re
looking at your numbers.
‘But can he act?’ That is the question I always ask. But
there are some people who are blessed who are fantastic actors who have numbers
and they’ve been doing well.”
