While the whole wide world is anticipating the release of Akshay Kumar's much talked about movie Gold, here's former cricketer Virender Sehwag who has evidently seen the film and has his expert review on the same ready. What's more? Sehwag posted a picture of his with Akki alongside his wife and two sons. Looks like the hitter is mighty impressed with what Akki has to offer with the sports film!

Gold is directed by Reema Kagti who has given us a good film before, Aamir Khan starrer Talaash! Gold also features Mouni Roy, Kunal Kapoor, Vineet Kumar Singh, Amit Sadh and Sunny Kaushal. It is extensively shot in UK and in India in order to remain honest to the grain of the historical accuracy and the nature of the project.  “Celebrate 70 years of free India’s first Gold by knowing how it feels by the history makers themselves,” Akshay Kumar had Tweeted about the historical event the movie is based on.

And now Sehwag takes to Instagram to give his review:  Totally sold on watching Gold. Wonderful , inspiring film. Thank you @akshaykumar !

Gold is inspired by India's first Olympic gold medal victory. It also traces the golden era of hockey through the journey of Tapan Das, a young assistant manager in 1936, who dreams of playing for an independent nation. Gold releases this Independence Day, August 15.
