Taapsee Pannu, Bhumi Pednekar's Saandh Ki Aankh to release on Diwali; first look out

Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar’s biographical sports film, Saand Ki Aankh, is scheduled to release on Diwali (October 25), alongside Akshay Kumar's Housefull 4, helmed by Farhad Samji. Saand ki Aankh, directed by Tushar Hiranandani, is about the life of octogenarian sharpshooters Chandro and Prakashi Tomar. The film was shot over a period of two months in Johri, Hastinapur, and Mawana in Uttar Pradesh. The film's first look was unveiled on Tuesday. 

Saand Ki Aankh stars director Prakash Jha as its main antagonist. Mukkabaaz actor Vineet Kumar Singh also plays an important role in the film. Co-produced by Reliance Entertainment, Anurag Kashyap, and Nidhi Parmar, Saand ki Aankh was initially titled Womaniya but had to be renamed following a legal tussle with producer Pritish Nandy.  

Tushar, who is making his directorial debut with this film, previously worked as a writer on projects like Dishoom, Ek Villain, ABCD 2 and Grand Masti. While Taapsee was last seen in Badla, Bhumi’s previous appearance was in Sonchiriya.
