MUMBAI: The next film in which Pankaj Kapur will appear is Binny and Family, following IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack. The movie tells the tale of three family generations and how poor communication causes a rift between them. Anjini Dhawan, the niece of Varun Dhawan, marks her debut in it, while Kapur plays her grandfather.
The veteran actor talks candidly about his relationship with Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput Kapoor's son Zain and daughter Misha in an interview with the well-known news portal.

He revealed an incident involving Zain, who turns six, “I think I spoil my grandchildren rotten. They call me baba. This one time, my grandson’s cousin was accompanying him to my house, and she asked him what she should call me. This little thing of mine, my grandson, told her to call me a ‘no-rule man’ (laughs).”
Being a loving grandfather, Kapur makes sure his grandkids have no restrictions in his house. “The reason behind this is that I’ve always told my grandchildren that when they come to baba’s house, there are no rules for them, and they can do whatever they want. This is their thrill. Every time they’re in their baba’s house, they don’t need to ask me if they want to do something,” he says.
The Jersey and Shaandaar actor shares that a part of his ‘indulgent trait’ will also be reflected in the relationship he shares with his on-screen granddaughter in Binny And Family. “Having said that, I’m right there to see that they aren’t doing anything wrong. If they do, I’ll definitely stop them. It’s not that they’re controlled a lot by their parents, but I want them to have this liberty at my house, where nobody will stop them from doing anything. I think it’s natural for any grandfather to feel that way towards his grandchildren. You’ll see that in the film too,” he adds.
He also spoke about the film and his impression of Anjini. “I felt she’s very confident and natural. She isn’t like any other newcomer, maybe because she comes from a film family. She’s exposed to cinema and knows how films are made. She’s a smart, young kid. She was extremely prepared and was comfortable on set. She didn’t have any air of nervousness around her, at least that’s what I felt,” he states.
According to Kapur, maintaining ties with Generation Z is critical since giving a chance to "know a lot more about today."
“My father was a professor, and he always used to say that he stayed young because he was always in the company of youngsters. He was teaching the youth and, at the same time, learning from them. You should have that kind of attitude. You should be observant and humble enough to acknowledge the good qualities of the young generation and learn from them, even at your age,” he states.
