Actors Mouni Roy and Akshay Kumar started filming
Gold in UK. The actors were spotted on the films sets and fan clubs posted pictures on social media. The film is a fictionalized retelling of the historic 1948 Summer Olympics hockey match, in which India won its first gold medal as a free nation.
Gold is directed by Reema Kagti, who is known for films like
Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. and
Talaash. On the sets, Akshay appeared to be wearing a
kurta with
dhoti while Mouni wore a sari with puffed-sleeve blouse, a fashion trend from the Forties and the Fifties. Take a look at Mouni and Akshay on the sets of
Gold.
Last week, Akshay shared the first picture of himself from the
first day on the sets of Gold:
Meanwhile, Mouni Roy fancied herself as a tourist in UK. She posted pictures from her visit to the Bolton Abbey and the Bronte Parsonage Museum.
Of Mouni's role in
Gold, a source told
Mumbai Mirror that the
Naagin actress will extensively shoot with Akshay Kumar and she "will be seen in a
completely different avatar to suit the era. She is one of the few female characters in the otherwise male dominated narrative."
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is gearing up for the release of
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, co-starring Bhumi Pednekar. The film will hit the screens on August 11. Akshay also has R Balki's
Padman in the pipeline while
2.0 with Rajinikanth is slated for release in January 2018.
