Akshay Kumar's
Gold trailer dropped by this morning and we would say the film is a must-watch. The trailer opens in the pre-independence era and traces the journey of a
determined hockey player (Akshay Kumar), who makes India proud by fetching a gold medal for the country as an independent nation. However, it took 12 years to make that dream a reality, from 1936 to 1948. Tapan Das (Akshay), an assistant manager, dreams of playing for an independent nation and winning a gold medal for India and in between, he forms a hockey team that initially falls apart but join hand again to achieve the goal.
Gold is a story of one man's dream, dedication and struggle. And, he thus makes India proud.
Gold ensemble cast includes Kunal Kapoor, Amit Sadh, Vineet Kumar Singh and also
TV actress Mouni Roy, who debutes in Bollywood with the film. She appears to be playing Akshay's wife in
Gold.

Gold is based on true events. Of the film, co-producer Ritesh Sidhwani told news agency PTI, "It is not a biopic. It is a completely fictional story but it is set against a real backdrop between 1933-48 India about what the country was, the sports... about hockey. It is not based on any character." Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani jointly produce
Gold under Excel Entertainment.
Gold, directed by Reema Kagti, will release on August 15 (Independence Day).
