Akshay Kumar has passion in his eyes in the latest poster of Gold

Akshay Kumar plays a patriot and hockey player in his upcoming film Gold. While we have already seen the teaser of the Reema Kagti directorial, the makers of the film have shared a new poster featuring Akshay. With passion in his eyes and the national flag held close to his heart, Akshay looks convincing in the poster. Gold is a fictionalised tale set in the backdrop of India’s historic Olympic win in 1948 and narrates the story of a man who dreamt of winning the gold medal for India.

Akshay posted the new poster of Gold on Twitter and wrote, “Desh banta hai jab sab deshvasiyon ki aankhon mein ek sapna hota hai. #Gold15Aug (A country is formed when countrymen have a dream in their eyes)” The producer of the film Farhan Akhtar also shared the poster on his Twitter handle and captioned it as, “All victories begin with a dream. It fills me with immense joy to present to you the official poster of #Gold, a film that is very close to my heart.”

\The makers of Gold will be releasing the film around the 70th anniversary of free India’s first Gold medal at the 1948 Olympics. India won its first Gold medal as an independent nation at the Olympics on August 12, 1948. The film will release on August 15, 2018.

Shot across UK and India, Gold also marks the Bollywood debut of TV actor Mouni Roy. Apart from Akshay and Mouni, Amit Sadh also plays a pivotal role in the film. Producer Ritesh Sidhwani had earlier clarified that Gold is not a biopic. He said, “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 about a particular character and Akshay is not even playing (hockey in the film). He plays the manager.”

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team.
