The teaser of Gold, which was unveiled earlier this year, shows the struggle of a Bengali hockey player (as revealed in the trailer) and how he wins the first Olympic medal for the country as a free nation in 1948. Gold is being produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment. Apart from Akshay Kumar, Gold will also star Mouni Roy and Amit Sadh in pivotal roles.
Talking about the film, producer Ritesh Sidhwani had earlier told PTI that Gold is not a biopic but it based on a fictional story "set against a real backdrop". "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."
