Saand Ki Aankh: Tushar Hiranandani’s ‘Khulla Saand’ Claim After Taapsee Pannu’s Heartfelt Post For ‘Hira’ Director Cracks Fans up

Taapsee Pannu's gratitude video for debut director Tushar Hiranandani is all that fans are interested in ahead of Saand Ki Aankh release this Diwali

The lead duo of Saand Ki Aankh, Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar are flooding their social media handles with latest glimpse and insights into the movie to maintain the hype around debut director, Tushar Hiranandani’s upcoming sports drama and ahead of the Diwali release, the duo compiled a gratitude video straight from the sets to feed fans anxiety. Giving fans a sneak-peek into the sets and the main man’s behind the camera actions, Taapsee not only melted fans hearts but also of the “hira” director as she penned a heartfelt post for him.

Taking to her Instagram handle, Taapsee shared the video where she and Bhumi are seen telling the camera why Tushar is “the man with bullseye vision”. The post was captioned, “Tushar The Hira! Meet Tushar Hiranandani the mother of the project #SaandKiAankh and such a ‘hands on’ and affectionate one ! For a writer who has written some of the blockbuster masala films it’s sheer courage to take up a film of two 65 year old women and make it a pure entertainer. Today I can’t imagine anyone else making this film better than him ! (sic).”

Bowled over by the appreciation, Tushar commented, “Thank u so Taapsee mam for keeping faith in me…full confidence dikhya while shooting par andhar se phati padi thi… par ab toh after seeing the final copy full-on khulla saand I have become…. (sic).” Needless to say, the humourous dig at his own self was enough to make fans double down with laughter.
