Mumbai hockey player Vinay Valmiki is nervous these days. Not because he has an important selection or tournament coming up, but because he is about to learn the outcome of his first foray into acting, when the Akshay Kumar-starrer, Gold releases in a fortnight (August 15).

The former Central Railway and Mumbai Customs player took a break from the game to shoot for the movie, which is based on the 1948 Indian hockey team that won its first Olympic gold medal post-independence. Currently, Vinay has returned to playing domestic hockey in Perth, Australia.
