THE IMMORTAL ASHWATTHAMA With Vicky Kaushal in the lead role, the film uses the character from the Mahabharata to present a sci-fi action drama
The journey of Akshay Kumar’s latest film began in Ayodhya, at Ram Janmabhoomi. The Canadian citizen boarded a private jet along with his co-stars, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Sri Lankan actress Jacqueline Fernandez, to “seek blessings” from Lord Ram. It was last year on Diwali that Kumar took to social media to announce the film, Ram Setu, directed by Abhishek Sharma (Tere Bin Laden) and creative produced by Chandraprakash Dwivedi (of Chanakya TV show fame). “Sach ya Kalpana (truth or myth),” wrote Kumar on Instagram. “This Deepawali, to perpetuate and secure the pious memories of Indian nation’s idol and superhero, Bhagwan Shri Ram, in the Indian psyche for eons to come, let us create a bridge which will keep generations connected with Ram. Ram Setu is our humble effort in this direction.”
