Akshay Kumar will soon start working on his next project, ‘Gold’. Helmed by Reema Kagti, the sports-based drama is based on the life of the celebrated hockey player, Balbir Singh, who helped India win three consecutive gold medals in the 1948, 1952 and 1956 Olympics.

The makers are yet to finalize the leading lady opposite Akshay in the film and according to a recent report, Swara Bhaskar is their first preference for the part.

“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,” revealed a source close to the film.

“Swara’s last film ‘Nil Battey Sannata’ did well critically and commercially, the makers feel she’s got the perfect mix for a film like ‘Gold’,” added the source.
