Taapsee Pannu hits back at young vs old criticism in 'Saand Ki Aankh'
Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar's, 'Saand Ki Aankh' has been criticized for casting two young actors instead of older ones to fit the role perfectly.
Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar's Diwali release, 'Saand Ki Aankh' has been criticized for casting two young actors to play 60-year-olds and not women closer to the age of the sharpshooters. The film revolves around the world's oldest sharpshooters Chandro and Prakashi Tomar and features Pannu and Pednekar in pivotal roles.
Taapsee hits back:
Time and again, the two actors and makers have faced flak over the above issue dnd now finally hitting back at all the trolls, Taapsee Pannu in an elaborate post questioned if one ever wants to 'embrace the positivity' or just wants to keep 'latching on to negativity'. "Did we question Aamir Khan when he played a college kid in '3 idiots', Did we question when Nargis Dutt played mother to Sunil Dutt', Did we question John Travolta for playing a woman in Hairspray?', she wrote.

Makers bring out an impressive trailer:
The over 3-minute trailer of ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ starts with director Prakash Jha with the rifle in his hand, expressing that it looks good only in the hands of men. This is followed by Chandro and Prakashi being involved completely with the household chores. As the younger girls in their family practice shooting, but are not up to the mark, Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar’s characters showcase their ability to hit bulls-eye. Not just do they train the girls, but they also plan to showcase their potential in a shooting competition. Watch below-
