It is a tough film to handle as you are taking the audience to the time period of 1936, then 1947 and 1948, Reema had to do so much homework

LONDON: Actor Jason Momoa says playing DC superhero Aquaman is the “biggest honour” for him.

The 38-year-old actor said portraying the character on big screen was a ‘’dream job’’ for him.

“I mean, that was the biggest honour, like when Zack (Snyder) told me – there’s just so many brownskinned kids that are going to grow up and go, like, ‘Yeah, all of our gods are water gods.’

“It is an absolute honour. Some people accept that he’s not white. I think it’s cool. It’s an honour for me to be that person standing up. Dream job, you know what I mean?’’ Momoa said.

The ‘Game of Thrones’ star has previously appeared as Aquaman in 2017’s

stand-alone will hit the theatres in December this year. Mumbai, Jul 29 (PTI) Akshay Kumar, whose next Gold is based on true events about India winning its first Olympic gold medal in hockey as a free nation, believes it is “frivolous” to compare the film with Chak De! India. Led by Shah Rukh Khan, the 2007 sports film was a fictional story about the Indian women’s national field-hockey team, which was inspired by the squad’s win at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. “Everything will be a competition. For me, it is all about doing a good film. Chak De... was a different story, Gold is different. It is frivolous to even think like that or competing with that film. Don’t compare it, it is all different,” Akshay said. Gold, directed by Reema Kagti, traces the journey of Tapan Das (played by Akshay) an assistant manager, who dreams to get a gold medal for the then newly-independent India. “Reema is a tough master, she handled the sports thing very well. I salute her. It is a tough film to handle as you are taking the audience to the time period of 1936, then 1947 and 1948, she had to do so much homework. To make a film in that era is a very difficult job,” he added. The film also stars Amit Sadh, Kunal Kapoor and Vineet Singh, and marks Mouni Roy’s feature film debut. Gold is set to face off with Jayate on August 15. Satyameva
