Trino Motion Pictures has announced a new feature film titled Grandpa Must Obey, a family comedy set for theatrical release later this year. The studio made the announcement via social media today, teasing audiences with first-look visuals and confirming that the film is currently in post-production.
Synopsis
Grandpa Must Obey follows the story of a grumpy grandfather who suddenly finds himself responsible for babysitting his unruly grandchildren. What starts as a reluctant arrangement quickly spirals into a chaotic but comedic sequence of events that tests the patience of an old man and the mischief capacity of modern-day kids. Described as lighthearted and universally relatable, the film leans into intergenerational conflict, humour, and the unexpected bonds that form when discipline meets defiance.
Cast and Production
At the centre of the film is veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo, cast in the lead role as the titular grandpa. He is joined by Yvonne Jegede, Darasimi Nadi, Fiyinfoluwa Asenuga, and Bimbo Akintola, forming a cast that blends star power with emerging talent. Also listed among the cast are Elvina Ibru and Brutus Richard.
The film is directed by Chibuzor Afurobi and produced by Uche Okocha under the Trino Motion Pictures banner. Production details indicate a runtime of approximately 90 minutes, with English as the primary language. The budget falls within a modest range, reported to be under US $300,000.
A Strategic Move for Trino Motion Pictures
With Grandpa Must Obey, Trino Motion Pictures pivots into accessible, family-oriented storytelling. The studio, which has previously worked across genres including drama and thriller, appears to be targeting a broader demographic: families, older audiences, and fans of character-driven comedy. By placing a household name like Kanayo O. Kanayo in the centre of a comedic, family-friendly role, the project offers something familiar yet fresh.
Grandpa Must Obey is coming to Cinemas near you from November 21st, 20225. See the teaser below!
