The film features a robust ensemble of celebrated Nollywood stars and rising talents; Kanayo O. Kanayo (KOK), Darasimi Nadi and Fiyin Asenuga, Yvonne Jegede and Bimbo Akintola add depth and heart to the core of the story.

Produced by Uche Okocha, ‘Grandpa Must Obey’ reaffirms Trino Motion Pictures’ repu tation for delivering authentic, high-quality Nigerian storytelling that resonates with both local and global audiences.
