    Hope craze for hockey rises after 'Gold': Akshay Kumar

    Akshay Kumar said he hopes hockey catches Indian youth's fancy after the release of his upcoming film "Gold". Besides "Gold", Diljit Dosanjh's next "Soorma" is also set against the backdrop of hockey. "Gold", releasing on August 15 and directed by Reema Kagti, is based on true events about India winning its first Olympic gold medal in hockey as a free nation in 1948.

    People will know about the history of hockey by 'Gold'

    "Youngsters want to see a different kind of sports. Other than cricket, football, kabaddi are also coming up. I hope... (Gold) gives hockey that status, also people will come to know about the history of hockey, when we got our first gold medal," said Akshay. "In reality, today things are changing and hockey is getting a lot of support from the government," he added.

    Akshay Kumar on clash with John Abraham's 'Satyamev Jayate'

    The film is clashing with John Abraham's "Satyamev Jayate" on August 15 and Akshay believes both the films can release on the same day. "He (John) is my friend. In the film industry, we all are friends. Anyone can come on any date or even come together on the same date. I hope both the films do well at the box office," he said.

    Tapas Das, who plays team manager, has to say something

    Actor Tapas Das said he worked hard to get his look and Bengali accent. "People don't know about the technicians who are equally involved in making a film, there are people who do not become famous. My character is somewhat like that. Long ago, I stayed in Kolkata for 2 years," he said. The film also stars Mouni Roy, Amit Sadh, and Kunal Kapoor.
