There’s a new kid on the block and he’s all set to make his debut with a bang in Akshay Kumar‘s upcoming film, Gold. 25-year-old Lakshya Kochhar started as an assistant director to Shujaat Saudagar for Rock On 2 and managed to bag his first role right after. Looking at the story and star cast of this film, we’re sure this is going to be one hell of a movie and we can’t wait to see what Lakshya brings to it.

When asked about the movie, Lakshya says he couldn’t have had a better debut than this one.

“It’s been an overwhelming experience working with Reema Ma’am and Akshay Sir. I could not have asked for a better debut than Gold. Having worked with Excel Entertainment before behind the camera, it feels great to be on the other side this time. I am sure the audiences will love the film and the storyline will touch the right chord.”
