This Actor Will Be Seen In Akshay Kumar's Upcoming Film 'Gold'!

Bollywood films have been smitten by the sports bug and we're seeing a sudden trend of 'sport themed' movies being released. Not letting go of the hype surrounding to it, Akshay Kumar has joined the bandwagon and is all set to star in a sport themed film titled 'Gold'. Akshay will portray the role of the Hockey player Balbir Singh, who won three successive gold medals at the Olympics between 1948 and 1956. Balbir Singh was the Indian Hockey team captain during that period.

Akshay Kumar will undergo special training in Hockey by professionals and will also learn from the current Indian Hockey team players. Along with Akshay Kumar, Vicky Kaushal's younger brother Sunny Kaushal is all set to be a part of the Indian Hockey team in the film. The film 'Gold' will go on floors from March 2017 and is set in the timeline of 1948.

A source close to the movie was quoted as saying, "The cast's training with real-life hockey players is expected to kick off in the next two weeks in Mumbai. Sunny was recently signed for the part of one of the younger players in the team and will begin prep soon."

Vicky Kaushal's brother Sunny Kaushal debuted in Bollywood with the film 'Sunshine Music Tours and Travels' in 2016. The film was a disaster and sank without a trace. Hopefully the film 'Gold' will give him recognition and nurture his acting talents.
