Directed by Reema Kagti and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the Excel Entertainment banner, 'Gold' also features Kunal Kapoor, Vineet Kumar Singh, Amit Sadh, Sunny Kaushal playing pivotal parts. Mouni, who is a popular television actress, and shot to fame with hit show 'Naagin', has been paired opposite Akshay and will be making her Bollywood debut with this film.
The story is set on the backdrop of India winning its first gold medal in hockey as a free nation in the 1948 Summer Olympics. The film has been shot across India and the UK capturing the fascinating aspect of the pre-Independence era and the struggle of the Hockey players.
