After watching the teaser, you will feel a great sense of pride for your nation.

Talking about who Akshay’s character in the film is inspired from, Reema had told Mumbai Mirror, “While researching for the film tumbled on a gentleman, who had been the assistant manager of the Indian hockey squad during the 1936 Berlin Olympics and risen to the rank of the manager during the London Olympics 12 years later. His life has loosely inspired Akshay Kumar’s character who, in a bid to galvanise the players in Berlin, pulls out the flag of the Indian National Congress in the locker room during half-time. The flag was banned in Germany at the time but still inspired respect and all the players saluted it. That incident is a defining moment in the inception of my film.” (Also Read: 5 songs which will complete your Eid with the perfect beats)
