Bhumi Pednekar unafraid to play older woman

Deccan Chronicle  

Unconventional beauty Bhumi Pednekar, who will now be seen in Saand Ki Aankh with Taapsee Pannu, says she wasn’t hesitant to play a character that is twice her age. “I was never hesitant about how I look on screen,” the actress reveals. We have put in a lot of hard work.” The film is about two female shooters Chandro and Prakashi from Uttar Pradesh’s Johri village, who reportedly took up sharpshooting in their 50s and are fondly called “shooter dadis” for being the world’s oldest female sharpshooters. Bhumi says that they did have to put in extra work in trying to figure out how to play older characters.
