Earlier, the teaser traced the journey of a hockey manager and his dream to win the first gold medal for free India. India won its first gold medal as an independent nation at the Olympics on August 12, 1948. The earnest ambition to win for the country after having played for the British for years is what makes this story special. Written and directed by Reema Kagti, 'Gold' also stars Mouni Roy. The film is co-produced by Farhan Akhtar.
