Not Mouni Roy but Shraddha Kapoor in Akshay Kumar’s ‘Gold’?

Just a few days back, we stumbled upon reports that suggested TV beauty Mouni Roy will be making her Bollywood debut with Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Gold’. Mouni’s debut was the talk of town for quite some time, and we thought it finally materialised. But that’s probably not the case.

If latest buzz is anything to go by, then ‘Gold’ producer Farhan Akhtar is keen to cast Shraddha Kapoor as the film’s leading lady opposite Akshay. Did that raise an eyebrow? Same here! (Also Read: Alia Bhatt was mistaken to be Shraddha Kapoor, and here’s how she reacted)

Farhan’s rumoured affair with Shraddha had a fair share of headlines. Gossip mongers even suggested they were planning to move in together. Apparently, cupid struck as they started filming for ‘Rock On 2’. However, they have vehemently denied such rumours.

‘Gold’ is based upon the life of athlete Balbir Singh who won India a gold medal in Olympics 1948; India’s first Olympics as an independent country.

We got to wait and see if Shraddha actually bags this one! Presently, she is busy with ‘Haseena’ and is also rejoicing the success of ‘Half Girlfriend’.
