Anjini Dhawan, Varun Dhawan's niece, recently made her Bollywood debut in "Binny and Family" alongside Pankaj Kapur. While this dramedy did not create a buzz at the box office, Anjini has quickly landed her second project, which is quite thrilling! Reports suggest that she has been cast in a significant role in "Sikandar," directed by AR Murugadoss and featuring Salman Khan. Anjini shared her surprise during a recent interview, responding, "Is it? Do I?"

In her conversation with India Today, Anjini addressed the rumors about her involvement in "Sikandar." She laughed and exclaimed, “Is it? Do I?” She playfully mentioned that she had come prepared to avoid such questions.

According to earlier reports from Mid-Day, Anjini has been selected for a crucial role in the film, which specifically seeks a fresh face. This makes her a fitting choice, and the shooting is expected to begin soon. However, details about her character and her relationship with Salman’s role are being kept under wraps to maintain the mystery surrounding her part in the story.

The film's storyline will portray Salman Khan’s character as a proud and arrogant individual, truly embodying the essence of a 'Sikandar.' He will showcase a royal background alongside traits of anger and pride.

Moreover, rumors suggest that Salman is collaborating with stunt coordinators from the "Mission Impossible" series to design thrilling action sequences for "Sikandar." This marks Salman’s first project with director A.R. Murugadoss, as they create an action-packed film featuring Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, and Kajal Aggarwal.

The music for "Sikandar" is being composed by Pritam, promising a mix of catchy dance tracks, romantic songs, and emotional themes. The film is set to release in theaters on Eid 2025. After wrapping up "Sikandar," Salman is likely to begin his next project with Atlee in early 2025.
