The debate over casting younger actors to play 60-somethings be as it may, there is no denying that Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu have found their career's most defining roles in Saand Ki Aankh. To do justice to their portrayal of Chandro and Prakashi Tomar, the oldest women sharpshooters in the country, the actors were required to pick up Haryanvi. Interestingly, Pednekar found an able tutor at home, in mother Sumitra.
"Since my mom is from Haryana and knows the culture, I took her help during filming and dubbing to nail the accent," says Pednekar, who trained for two months with her mother before facing the camera.
