Abstract: Let $X$ be a finitistic space having the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the product of two projective spaces. We study free involutions on $X$ and determine the possible mod 2 cohomology algebra of orbit space of any free involution, using the Leray spectral sequence associated to the Borel fibration $Xhookrightarrow{X}_{mathbb{Z}_2}longrightarrow{B}_{mathbb{Z}_2}$. We also give an application of our result to show that if $X$ has the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the product of two real projective spaces (respectively complex projective spaces), then there does not exist any $mathbb{Z}_2$-equivariant map from $mathbb{S}^{k}oX$ for $kgeq2$ (respectively $kgeq3$), where $mathbb{S}^k$ is equipped with the antipodal involution.
