When Pankaj Kapur first said yes to Binny and Family, it revolved around a girl and her grandfather. Years later, when debutant director Ssanjay Tripaathy returned to the veteran actor to finally take the film forward, the story had been tweaked. “It had become about the girl, her father and grandfather. But I still wanted to do the film because I liked what Ssanjay wanted to say with it. Adding another generation only gave more depth to the film,” he says.
