Taapsee Pannu learning air pistol for her role in Saand Ki Aankh

Taapsee Pannu
MUMBAI: Taapsee Pannu who is currently promoting her upcoming release Badla, recently shot for a portion of Saand Ki Aankh in Johri village in Uttar Pradesh. The actress is also utilising the time to train in air pistol and rifle shooting for her sharpshooter act in the Anurag Kashyap production. The Tushar Hiranandani-directed venture sees Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar bring the story of Chandro and Prakashi Tomar - the country's oldest women sharpshooters on celluloid.

The actress who is under the tutelage of coach Vishwajeet Shinde, shares "I am training for four hours every day. My coach and I go to the shooting range every morning. We start with the details of the sport - how to hold the gun, the nuances and tricks as well as the safety measures."

Although she had learnt the basics of the sport before the first schedule commenced earlier this month, Taapsee says the next leg will see Pednekar and her dive deep into it, "Shooting is not something that came easily to me. I was scared to even attempt this, but I chose this film to get over my mental block."

Often appreciated for picking up diverse characters, Pannu describes this as the "most challenging role" of her career so far, she adds, "Her life is far removed from what I have played so far. I have built her from scratch drawing upon my observations of her."
