'Saand
Ki
Aankh',
a
movie
based
on
the
world's
oldest
sharp-shooters,
Chandro
and
Prakashi
Tomar,
is
all
set
to
hit
theatres
this
Diwali.
The
film
stars
Bhumi
Pednekar
and
Taapsee
Pannu,
playing
the
roles
of
the
60
plus
years
old
women.
Saand
Ki
Aankh
has
braved
through
the
some
controversies
recently,
and
has
still
got
audiences' anticipation
high.
Bhumi
says
that
the
movie
is
a
commercial
film
with
a
lot
of
sense
in
it.
Interacting
with
the
media
at
a
promotional
event,
Bhumi
said,
"This
is
a
commercial
film
with
a
lot
of
sense
in
it.
I
think
whenever
a
film
is
given
recognition
at
film
festivals
across
the
world
and
then
gets
released
on
the
occasion
of
Diwali,
it
maintains
a
perfect
balance
and
gives
you
a
lot
of
confidence."
Saand
Ki
Aankh
will
be
screened
at
the
Mumbai
International
Film
Festival
on
the
last
day.
Talking
about
their
interactions
with
the
real
Shooter
Dadis,
Bhumi
said,
"It
was
really
a
great
experience
to
meet
the
Shooter
Daadis
because
they
treat
everybody
with
so
much
of
love
and
warmth.
They
have
achieved
so
many
things
in
their
lives
and
they
transformed
lives
of
many
people,
so
there
is
a
special
aura
about
them."
Taapsee
added,
"We
are
playing
the
Daadis.
In
our
life,
we
also
have
daadis,
naanis
(maternal
grandmothers)
and
mothers
so
when
you
see
them,
you
think
about
your
characters.
For
us,
the
relatability
factor
came
from
there.
Our
mothers
and
grandmothers
were
our
reference
points
and
we
caught
on
to
that.
I
feel
happy
that
the
audience
has
given
a
great
response
to
the
trailer
of
the
film,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
they
really
like
these
characters
and
the
film."
Saand
Ki
Aankh
releases
on
October
25.
The
film
is
directed
by
Tushar
Hiranandani
and
produced
by
Anurag
Kashyap.
