Taapsee Pannu Give Tribute To Shooter Dadi On Her Demise

Sharpshooter Chandro Tomar, who was popularly known as "Shooter Dadi", died on Friday at the age of 89. She had contracted the virus and was hospitalized due to breathing trouble. Chandro Tomar's sister-in-law Prakashi Tomar tweeted on Friday, "Mera sath chhuth gaya. Chandro kahan chali gayi." Meanwhile, Taapsee Pannu, who played the role of the late sharpshooter in a 2019 film called Saand Ki Aankh, in her eulogy for Chandro Tomar, wrote on Twitter: "For the inspiration, you will always be... You will live on forever in all the girls you gave hope to live. My cutest rockstar May the love and peace be with you."

The film Saand Ki Aankh was based on the lives of sharpshooters Chandro and Prakashi Tomar, who were arguably the oldest shooters in the country and participated in over 30 national championships. Taapsee Pannu played Prakashi Tomar while actress Bhumi Pednekar starred as Chandro Tomar in the film.

The film marked the directorial debut of Tushar Hiranandani, who is known for writing films like Ek Villain and Dishoom. Saand Ki Aankh was co-produced by Anurag Kashyap. Saand Ki Aankh received favorable reviews from critics when it opened in theatres and the lead actresses also garnered praise for their performances in the film. Taapsee Pannu had earlier described the film as the "first biggest experiment of her career."
