BHOPAL: The famous Revolver Dadis- Chandro

, 87, and Prakashi Tomar, 82, who are among world's oldest sports shooters - revealed on Monday that they got their first guns when Congress president

had sent it to them. They were in

to attend a function 'We The Women' at NLIU on Monday.

Incidentally, a biopic titled '

' is being shot on both the shooters in which Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu are playing their characters. Both took to the game at the 60-65 years.

When asked by the audience as to who gave them guns for the first time, Chandro Tomar said, "Rahul Gandhi sent two sports guns to us. That was for the first we got our own guns." Chandro said girls not just only need to be allowed to study. " Beti bachao, beto padhao aur beti khilao (save girls, allow them to study and also encourage them to play)," said Chandro.

About their biopic, the ace shooters said, "It is good to see that their efforts will be played on silver screen. We had never thought about such a day." Prakashi Tomar said when they started learning

people used to laugh on them. "We did not care about such response and continued our practise. Same people started cheering us when we started winning medals," said Prakashi Tomar.

Taapsee said, "It is my good fortune to act on such great realistic characters. It is not easy for me and Bhumi. We have to do lot of make up to look like elderly in the movie."

She added that that

is on its way to bring the change. "Women oriented movies are being made in large number. Bollywood travelled a long journey from when women were the last person who were cast to being the first person," said Taapsee.
