Actor Amit Sadh is currently busy with his next ‘Gold’ which also stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role. The actor admits that such good scripts give an actor the push to perform better, “[Also] when you are collaborating with such amazing talent — actor Akshay Kumar and director Reema Kagti — it brings out the best in you. It’s like the company you keep. I feel fortunate that I am a part of such a film, which I believe, will stir a lot of patriotic emotions. There’s a little bit of everything in the film: love, partition, hockey, patriotism, and entertainment.”
Further talking about the film he said, “And credit for most of it goes to the subject line, the story and the fact that it’s a Reema Kagti film. Also, with Akshay sir leading the film, it’s like having a bunch of people who excel in their form of arts respectively, and their credibility definitely does create arousal in the viewers’ mind.”
Talking about his father the actor said, “My dad was a champion and a very good hockey player. But, I was more into football. However, since I was so athletic and fit, I did play a few hockey games when I was really young. I got into some fights with hockey sticks, and I was banned from playing hockey (laughs). So, for the film, again I am very lucky that I got to play and learn a skill and a sport. We had some great coaches including Lobo sir, the ex-Australian coach Michael Nobbs and a lot of other people, who contributed to our training. So, in a way, I had to learn to play hockey from scratch.”
