Anurag Kashyap has finally revealed the title of his next movie starring Tapsee Pannu along with Bhumi Pednekar.
The movie, which Kashyap revealed to be called ‘Saand Ki Aankh’, was reportedly titled ‘Womaniya’ earlier, which had to be changed due to titles right dispute.
Anurag took to his Twitter handle to share the news, announcing the name of the film. He wrote, “So we have decided to not pay the extortion sum of 1 crore to @PritishNandy. He can sit on the title and warm it and hope for it to hatch into something worthwhile for his company for once.”

Chandro is fondly called as shooter ‘dadi’ and is among the world’s oldest female sharpshooters.
Apart from this film, Taapsee will next be seen in ‘Tadka’, ‘Badla’ and ‘Mission Mangal’, whereas Bhumi will appear in ‘Sonchiriya’, ‘Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare’ and Takht.
