Varun Dhawan's niece, Anjini Dhawan, made her big Bollywood debut with Binny and Family alongside Pankaj Kapur. While the dramedy may not have made a significant impact at the box office, it seems that the newcomer has secured her second project, and it’s an exciting one! According to a recent report, Anjini has joined the cast of AR Murugadoss and Salman Khan's Sikandar in a key role. In a recent interview, she decided to speak about it, reacting with, "Is it? Do I?" 

In a chat with India Today, When asked about reports of her signing Sikandar, the actor addressed the news and said, “Is it? Do I?”, before she broke out laughing and mentioned she had come all prepped [to dodge such questions].

As earlier reported by Mid-Day, Anjini has been cast in a significant role that requires a fresh face, making her an ideal choice. Dhawan is expected to begin filming soon.

However, the nature of Anjini's character and her connection to Salman’s protagonist remains under wraps, as the team wishes to keep her role a secret due to its pivotal impact on the story.

Pinkvilla previously reported that Salman's character features traits of arrogance. He personifies the true nature of a 'Sikandar,' hailing from a royal background and exhibiting qualities of anger and pride.

It was mentioned that Salman last showcased a 'bad boy' persona in a subplot of Sultan, which was well-received by fans.
