Actor Akshay Kumar is all set to visit Ayodhya; says Ram Setu is a bridge between generations past, present and future.After wrapping up Bachchan Pandey, actor Akshay Kumar is all set to start shoot for his next, Ram Setu. The actor, along with director Abhishek Sharma and creative producer Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi, will fly to Ayodhya on March 18 to give the mahurat shot of the film from Ram Janmabhoomi.
While Kumar is away for a family vacation in Maldives and will dive back to work as soon as gets back, the film’s director tells that the shoot is spread across multiple schedules over the next few months and 80% of the film will be shot in Mumbai.
Sharma also reveals that the actor will be seen in a new avatar. “Akshay sir plays an archaeologist and his look and character is inspired by several Indian and international professional archaeologists who work in the field. In terms of both look and character, Akshay sir’s fans are in for a totally new avatar of his,” Sharma says.
For Sharma, the journey of Ram Setu started back in 2007 when he “first read newspaper coverage about a court case related to a project to build a shipping canal in the shallow straits between India and Sri Lanka and the issues that the project was facing.
He shares that he locked the screenplay during the lockdown last year. “I pitched the first draft of the screenplay to Akshay sir and he immediately came on-board,” he adds. When it comes to the research process of the film, Sharma expresses gratitude towards Dwivedi for guiding the team in the right direction.”
