Asoreba is often cited as the movie that ushered Twi-language Ghanaian movies into the mainstream. A fact that is attributed to Nana Ama's performance in the film.

Early life
Nana Ama was born in Kumasi, Ghana. Nana Ama's mother, Cecilia Adzanim Boateng, and her father Kwabena Nkrumah, divorced when Nana Ama was young. With her father gone and her mother unable to take care of her and her six other siblings, Nana Ama together with her siblings were adopted by Kofi McBrown and her aunt, Madam Betty Obiri Yeboah.

However, on the set, Nana Ama was able to snag the lead role after the director, Samuel Nyamekye, felt that she was better suited for the role. In 2001, her first movie That Day, was released launching her career.
Her performance in That Day opened the floodgates to choicer roles, landing her a spot on the TV Series Tentacles.
In 2007, the movie Asoreba co-starring Agya Koo and Mercy Aseidu, turned Nana Ama into a household name. Since then, Nana Ama has slowly built a strong following by releasing a slew of critically-acclaimed movies.
