Just a few days back Akshay Kumar shared a poster of his upcoming movie 'Gold' which is based on the historic story of India's first Olympic medal win as a free nation. Since then his fans were much more excited and now there's one more news that will surely double the excitement. Akshay will portray the role of hockey player Balbir Singh in the film.

When it comes to hockey legend, one name which strikes our mind is Dhyan Chand. But there is one more hockey legend Balbir Singh who is unknown to the world. Balbir Singh is the real hero who bought Olympic gold medals in India not only in 1948 but also in 1952 and 1956 Olympics when India was a free nation.

It will be a treat to watch one patriotic hero portraying another patriotic hero.
