Ever
since
Saand
Ki
Aankh's
trailer
landed
on
the
internet,
it
has
been
receiving
flak
from
a
section
of
the
netizens
for
not
casting
older,
talented
actresses
like
Neena
Gupta,
who
would
have
suited
the
role
perfectly.
Neena
Gupta
also
nodded
along
with
the
netizens
and
took
a
sly
dig
at
the
makers
while
tweeting,
"Yes
I
was
just
thinking
about
this
hamari
umar
ke
role
toe
kamse
kam
humse
kara
lo
bhai." Even
Alia
Bhatt's
mother,
Soni
Razdan
had
felt
that
the
makers
should
have
approached
senior
actors
for
this
film.
While
speaking
to
Deccan
Chronicle,
Taapsee
Pannu
reacted
to
the
entire
age
row
and
said,
"Ek
kam
karti
hoon
main
acting
karna
chhod
deti
hoon
(I
will
do
one
thing,
I
will
stop
acting),
and
only
play
characters
of
my
age
and
girls
from
Delhi.
We
are
actors,
so
should
we
stop
acting?"
"As
an
actor,
I
will
sometimes
play
characters
of
different
ages.
We
should
stop
being
camera
actors,
I
think.
I
know
it's
not
an
easy
visual,
as
these
women
pick
up
guns
at
the
age
of
6o,
and
the
film
showcases
their
story
from
half
of
their
current
ages," added
Taapsee.
For
the
unversed,
before
Taapsee,
Kangana
was
also
approached
for
the
role
but
she
refused
it
as
she
felt
it's
unfair
to
the
older
actresses.
Taapsee,
on
the
other
side,
was
very
much
attracted
to
the
script
and
couldn't
let
go
of
the
opportunity
in
order
to
prove
her
versatility.
She
said
that
when
she
was
hearing
the
script,
her
reference
point
was
her
mother.
She
cried
for
two
hours,
as
every
moment
reminded
her
of
her
mother.
"As
my
reel
mother
would
say:
I
will
not
let
my
girls
spend
life
as
I
did,
and
if
I
have
to
pick
up
the
gun
at
60
to
do
it,
then
I
will," added
Taapsee.
Saand
Ki
Aankh
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
October
25,
2019.
