The trailer of Akshay Kumar-starrer Ram Setu has been released. Kumar plays an archaeologist in the action-adventure, which also stars Nushratt Bharuccha, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nassar, and Satya Dev in pivotal roles.
Directed by Abhishek Sharma and co-produced by Kumar's company Cape of Good Films along with Amazon Prime Video, Abundantia Entertainment, and Lyca Productions, Ram Setu has been shot near Ooty, Daman and Diu, and Mumbai.
Ram Setu Trailer
The trailer opens to a court hearing which implies that the government has requested Supreme Court's permission to demolish Ram Setu. It then switches to Kumar who takes it upon himself to single-handedly save what his character claims to be a historic treasure — the bridge built by Lord Ram in the mythological epic Ramayan. As Akshay and his team set out to prove the existence of the structure, they get embroiled in a big scheme where they soon realise that they are being targeted. The trailer ends with Akshay coming out of the sea with a stone from the bridge on his shoulder, as his voiceover said, "There are millions of temples of Shri Ram in the world, but, Setu is only one."
Ram Setu will be Akshay’s fifth release this year after Bachchhan Paandey, Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan and Cuttputlli. None of Akshay’s films of this year have garnered good reviews and failed to work at the box office.
Kumar had earlier spoken on films failing at the box office and said, “Films are not working, it is our fault, it is my fault. I have to make the changes. I have to understand what the audience wants. I want to do my changes. I want to dismantle my way. He said he should rather focus on the kind of films I should do. Nobody else is to be blamed but me.”
Ram Setu releases in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu in theatres on October 25, 2022. The film will clash with Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Thank God which is slated to release on the same day.
