The trailer of Anjini Dhawan's debut film, Binny And Family, was launched in Mumbai, marking her entry into the film industry. The movie features actor Pankaj Kapur and is produced by Ektaa Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures, with Sanjay Tripathi at the helm.
Binny And Family Trailer Out
The trailer for Binny And Family introduces Anjini Dhawan's character, Binny, a rebellious teenager. The video begins with two NRI students discussing the challenges of connecting with their grandparents. Binny, a girl who smokes, parties, and films videos, faces a clash when her grandparents, played by Pankaj Kapur and Himani Shivpuri, visit from India. They impose strict rules that irritate Binny, leading to tension and comedy.
Her parents, Charu Shankar and Rajesh Kumar, struggle with the generational divide, while Pankaj Kapur’s character sternly warns Binny about her behaviour. The trailer highlights the generational gap and communication issues, culminating in a humorous moment where Binny’s grandfather mistakes a Dr. Dre poster for a real doctor.
Varun Dhawan Welcomes Niece Anjini To Bollywood
Varun Dhawan, her uncle, attended the trailer launch to show his support. Addressing the occasion, Varun said that while he is proud of Anjini, he and his family have no role in her achievements. "It’s a good film, and that’s why I’m here," he said, noting that his father, veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, also did not launch him in his career.
Varun praised Anjini's independent efforts, saying, "She has done it on her own, and I am very proud of her." He shared the trailer on Instagram, expressing his excitement: “Anjini Dhawan, this is so good. Welcome to the movies."
Who Is Anjini Dhawan?
Born on April 4, 2000, she is the daughter of Siddharth Dhawan and Reena Dhawan. Siddharth is Varun's cousin. Anjini is the granddaughter of veteran actor Anil Dhawan.
Before stepping into the spotlight as an actor, Anjini worked as an assistant director (AD) on the set of Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan’s film Coolie No. 1 (2020), which was directed by David Dhawan. Her experience on set, combined with her skills in acting, dancing, and acrobatics, has prepared her for her debut role.

She is well-connected in Bollywood, maintaining close friendships with Khushi Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, and Aaliyah Kashyap.
