I am not at all a part of Gold, says Swara Bhaskar!

It would have been a casting coup of sorts if Swara Bhaskar and Akshay Kumar featured in a movie together. There were big chances of it to happen, but unfortunately! This hottest piece of news broke our hearts! As per newest reports doing the rounds in tinsel town, the actress is not doing the movie. Upon being approached, Swara confirmed the news telling, “While I would LOVE to work with Akshay sir who I’m a fan of and with Reema Kagti whose work I admire deeply; sadly, the fact is I am not at all a part of Gold. I know it’s a great script and I wish the team well for the shoot.” 

For those of you who don’t know, Gold is a sports based drama, a biopic on Balbir Singh, the hockey champion who helped India win three consecutive gold medals in the 1948, 1952 and 1956 Olympics. The biopic is being directed by Reema Kagti. 

While Akshay Kumar has been finalized for the role, the team, we hear had almost finalized on Swara Bhaskar as the female lead. A famous daily quoted an insider as telling, “The team was looking for someone with acting prowess. After considering a few names, they chose Swara Bhaskar. They have approached her and she will soon sit for a narration and decide.” 

It was after watching her stellar performance in Nil Battey Sannata that Gold’s team wanted to cast her. The insider told, “Swara’s last film Nil Battey Sannata did well critically and commercially, the makers feel she’s got the perfect mix for a movie like Gold.”
