Bhumi Pednekar on her prep for sharpshooter act in Saand Ki Aankh

Bhumi Pednekar with Prakashi Tomar
At 29, Bhumi Pednekar has no reservations about playing a 60-something in her next, Saand Ki Aankh. But then, the actor has displayed a proclivity for unconventional roles from the start of her career. The Anurag Kashyap production sees Taapsee Pannu and her slip into the roles of Chandro and Prakashi Tomar respectively, two of the country's oldest women sharpshooters.
While Pednekar had learnt to handle the gun for Sonchiriya, she says that training in rifle shooting was a different ball game altogether: "I had to pick up rifle and pistol shooting for the role. I would train for one-and-a-half-hours, thrice a week for 35 days, at the shooting ranges in Worli and Dadar."
