Akshay Kumar to make his Telugu debut with Vishnu Manchu’s ‘Kannappa’
Doosukeltha' (2013) actor Manchu took to his official X page to share the news of Kumar joining 'Kannappa'.
Akshay Kumar’s fans have all the right reasons to be excited and gear up for his next release Gold. Gold has been creating massive noise with its posters and teasers. The film directed by Reema Kagti marks the debut of TV sensation Mouni Roy on the silver screen.
Gold marks the first ever association between Akshay Kumar and Excel Entertainment led by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar.
The two minutes long trailer shows how Akshay Kumar, who plays a hockey coach in the film, prepares his team for Olympics and leads it to win the first Gold medal for Independent India in 1948. Though fictionalised, the movie is based on the Indian hockey’s journey from 1936, when the country under British rule won the first Gold, to 1948 when India won again but first time after Independence in 1947. The trailer gives a peak into the 12 years’ wait, hard work and determination that turned a dream into reality.
