Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu starrer 'Saand Ki Aankh' promises to bring us an inspirational story with a generous mix of entertainment. The film is based on the true story of Chandro Tomar and Prakashi Tomar, who are India's oldest sharp shooters. Together, they have won over 30 championships which they competed in, after they turned 65.
On National Sports Day, both Bhumi and Taapsee spoke about how privileged they feel to have essayed these roles, and shared anecdotes of when they were shooting for the film.
Talking
about
how
much
she
learnt
from
Chandro
Tomar,
Bhumi
said,
"Sharp
shooting
is
a
very
interesting
sport
and
playing
the
role
of
Chandro
Tomar
has
taught
me
so
much
about
the
game.
I
interacted
with
so
many
people
living
in
that
village
of
Meerut
and
got
to
know
how
passionate
everyone
seems
to
be
about
sharp
shooting."
"They
work
so
hard
to
ace
this
sport
that
it
gives
me
goose
bumps.
The
excitement
for
the
sport
is
growing
and
I
hope
that
more
interesting
sportsmen
come
up
for
this," she
added.
Taapsee
said,
"To
play
the
role
of
a
woman,
who
against
all
odds,
picked
up
the
gun
and
shot
her
way
to
glory
and
success
at
that
age
has
been
so
inspiring.
"While
shooting
for
the
film,
I
lived
with
them
in
their
house.
I
saw
how
both
of
them
encourage
the
game
of
sharp
shooting.
Despite
coming
from
a
rural
place,
these
two
women
have
shown
me
that
Indian
women
are
no
less
than
anyone
else
in
the
world
when
it
comes
to
sports,
strong
will
and
fighting
for
their
dream," she
added.
Saand Ki Aankh is directed by Tushar Hiranandani, and is co-produced by Anurag Kashyap. The film also stars Prakash Jha. It is set to release on October 25 this year.
