Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu are all set to come together for the very first time in this interesting movie titled Saand Ki Aankh, in which the duo will be seen essaying the role of the world’s oldest sharpshooters – Chandro Tomar and her sister-in-law Prakashi Tomar. Based on the real story of the two elderly women Chandro Tomar (86) and Prakashi Tomar (81), from a small village called Johri in Uttar Pradesh, this movie will show how these two aspirants had to struggle to learn the art of shooting. Of course, this movie will deal with women empowerment and not to mention the changes it will bring in social mindset.
After the trailer was released of Saand ki Aankh, it created a new debate of ageism in the Bollywood idustry with both the actresses because they are playing 60-year-old grandmothers in their 30s and they had to transform themselves with lots of make up to look like octogenarians. For this matter, there has been some tweets against them claiming that Bollywood should cast age-appropriate actors for older characters as it doesn’t fit the bill.
Initially the movie was titled ‘Womaniya’, but due to some issues regarding legal rights of the title, it was renamed as Saand ki Aankh. Surprisingly, Prakash Jha was also roped in to play a vital role and even Vineet Kumar was added in the cast.
Saand Ki Aankh, which is being jointly produced by Nidhi Parmar and Anurag Kashyap will mark the directorial debut of writer Tushar Hiranandani who has written films like Ek Villain, Half Girlfriend and Main Tera Hero.

Scheduled to release on 25 October 2019, book your tickets at your nearest Rajhans Cinemas and enjoy the tale of two veteran sharpshooters in the dramatic setting.
