Helmed by Tushar Hiranandani, _Saand Ki Aankh_ depicts the heroic story of the world’s oldest sharpshooters — Chandro and Prakashi Tomar. Apart from Taapsee and Bhumi, Saand Ki Aankh also features director Prakash Jha and _Mukkabaaz_ actor Viineet Singh in pivotal roles. The film was criticised by senior actresses for casting two young actresses in the roles of 60-year-olds. Set in the hinterlands of Uttar Pradesh, the film went on floors in Meerut in February. Originally titled Womaniya, the film was renamed Saand Ki Aankh, following a title rights dispute . Recently, Saand Ki Aankh was exempted from the state Goods and Services Tax (SGST) in Rajasthan.
