Akshay Kumar, who will be next seen in Excel Entertainment's Gold recently attended an event where he felicitated Indian contingents of Asian Games and said he would like to make a biopic on Hima Das. Akshay Kumar was one of the main guests at the event, where he wished them good luck for their forthcoming competition of Asian Games. The actor dedicated Gold's anthem song 'Ghar Layenge Gold' to the contingents to increase their confidence and to boost them up, he called them on the stage and sang the song along with them.
During the interaction round, when asked Akshay on whom would he like to make a biopic on, the actor said, "I would like to make a biopic on Hima Das. She's a young achiever, in a sport that India's not identified with on the international stage. She won gold in a track and field event, which is a huge achievement and should be highlighted through a movie. As Indians, we run and get on to a bus and train easily. So we have the potential to run. It's only a matter of time and encouragement before we can make a name for ourselves in track and field events."
