Actress Nikita Dutta, known for TV shows like "Ek Duje Ke Vaaste" and "Haasil", will make her Bollywood debut with Akshay Kumar-starrer "Gold". She says she has always believed in meaningful cinema. "Gold" is a historical sports drama inspired by India's first Olympic gold medal.

"I had got a call from the casting director and had to go through two rounds of audition for the role. It feels great pleasure and honour to be associated with a film like 'Gold'. I have always believed in meaningful cinema and this movie was one such opportunity," Nikita said in a statement to IANS.
