Saand Ki Aankh Star Bhumi Pednekar Hopes Sharpshooting As A Sport Grows More In India

Actress Bhumi Pednekar, who plays one of the oldest sharpshooters in the world in the upcoming film, “Saand Ki Aankh“, finds the sport an interesting one.

“Saand Ki Aankh” is inspired by Chandro Tomar and Prakashi Tomar, who are among the oldest sharpshooters in India.

“Sharpshooting is a very interesting sport and playing the role of Chandro Tomar has taught me so much about the game. I interacted with so many people living in that village of Meerut and got to know how passionate everyone seems to be about sharpshooting,” Bhumi said in a statement issued on August 29, which marks the 114th birth anniversary of hockey legend Dhyan Chand that is celebrated as National Sports Day in India.

“They work so hard to ace this sport that it gives me goosebumps. The excitement for the sport is growing and I hope that more interesting sportsmen come up for this,” she added.
