After the success of Rustom, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar revealed yet another movie based on a real-life story, Gold. He took to Twitter to share the poster of Gold, which is all set to release in 2018 on Independence Day.

It is being speculated that Khiladi Kumar will be seen in the role of hockey player Balbir Singh in the sports biopic.

Singh was a part of the Indian hockey team in 1948, he was vice-captain of the team in 1952 and was made the captain in 1956. The team won three successive gold medals in the Olympics, however, the legendary player never got the recognition he deserved.
