Who says a grandmother has to look conventional? The second-look poster of ‘40 Days of House Party’ has arrived, and it has caught attention, a stylish grandmother sporting an Adidas jacket, traditional jewellery and a pair of sparkling eyes.

The upcoming Malayalam film, written and directed by Shifina Babin Pakkar, brings together Kunchacko Boban and a host of newcomers in what promises to be a distinct and unconventional story. Shifina, who previously worked as an assistant director on films such as ‘Romancham’ and ‘Aavesham’, is making her directorial debut with the project.
