Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar will topline the biographical drama "Saand Ki Aankh"
Anurag Kashyap's next production starring Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar has finally got a title. According to reports, the upcoming film was originally titled 'Womaniya' and now has been renamed as 'Saand Ki Aankh'. This comes after a title rights dispute.
Anurag took to his Twitter handle to share the news, announcing the name of the film. He wrote, "So we have decided to not pay the extortion sum of 1 crore to @PritishNandy. He can sit on the title and warm it and hope for it to hatch into something worthwhile for his company for once."
"while we go ahead with what @taapsee @bhumipednekar @tushar1307 @nidhiparmar @RelianceEnt @prakashjha27 @ItsVineetSingh @realshooterdadi @shooterdadi want the film to be .."SAAND KI AANKH". I am sorry that i had faith in Mr. Nandy," he wrote in another tweet.
According to various media reports, Nandy's company already owned the title, which was brought to the makers notice after they announced the movie and went for the name registration.
Bhumi and Taapsee too took to their Twitter handles and shared the title of the film.
The two leading ladies will be seen playing the world's oldest sharpshooters, Chandro Tomar and her sister-in-law Prakashi Tomar in the upcoming film. According to Indian film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film will mark writer Tushar Hiranandani's debut as director. It will be jointly-produced by Anurag Kashyap and Nidhi Parmar. The filming is supposed to commence next week in Meerut.
Other details about the film are kept under wraps. The film is based on Chandro and Prakashi, who are from Uttar Pradesh's Johri village and reportedly took up sharpshooting in their 50s. Chandro is fondly called as shooter 'dadi' and is among the world's oldest female sharpshooters.
Pednekar and Pannu have started prepping for their roles with intensive workshops and look tests. "At a time where content is king, we believe 'Saand Ki Aankh' will truly stand out. With a great script, versatile actors like Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar and an immensely talented Tushar Hiranandani captaining the ship, we are confident we have a winner on our hands," Kashyap said in a statement.
Hiranandani said, "We honestly couldn't have asked for a better cast. Both Bhumi and Taapsee have put their heart and soul into the characters right from the initial prep to the training and their looks. The film is the perfect platform for them to reach their true potential as powerhouse performers." Release date of the film has not been decided yet.
Apart from this film, Taapsee will next be seen in 'Tadka', 'Badla' and 'Mission Mangal', whereas Bhumi will appear in 'Sonchiriya', 'Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare' and Takht.
