Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer Saand Ki Aankh has been the talk of the town not only for the subject but also for casting. The film has been under the radar of the social media audience for portraying two young actors in the roles of octogenarian sharpshooters.

Reacting on this issue, Bhumi, in an interview to Bombay Times said, "My perspective is I'm completely in sync with Taapsee. I feel as actors, it's our choice to do a project or not, you cannot question our choice. Yes, there is a dearth of roles written for women irrespective of their age. And there is a dearth of good roles written for women at a certain age. We agree with that. But by the end of it, it is a director's prerogative. And I don't see there's anything wrong in casting an actor who doesn't physically fit a certain role because if that was the case, then you are completely opposing what the basic definition of being an actor is and then Taapsee and I would not land up with a lot of the roles that we are doing now."
