Gold trailer: Akshay Kumar dreams of winning an Olympic gold medal for India

Gold trailer: After the success of PadMan, Akshay Kumar is back in his patriotic form as the flag-bearing coach of a pre-independence Indian hockey team. The over two-minute long trailer features Akshay, Mouni Roy, Vineet Kumar Singh, Amit Sadh, Kunal Kapoor and Sunny Kaushal.

The trailer opens with a voice-over announcing the words, “Gold, British India,” and an intense-looking Akshay giving ‘the stare’ to the British flag. What transpires over a couple of minutes in the trailer is a mix of patriotism and sports, just everything one could have expected from Khiladi Kumar.

Naagin star and Ekta Kapoor’s blue-eyed girl Mouni Roy appears for merely five seconds in the trailer chastising Akshay in Bengali. She plays the actor’s wife in Gold. Akshay then proceeds to deliver a monologue laced with an almost overbearing love for the country. We are then quickly introduced to characters of Kunal Kapoor, Amit Sadh, Vineet Kumar Singh and Sunny Kaushal, each of them a hockey player with a passion to play the game.
