By the looks of it, Ram Setu is going to be a mega-budgeted film. Akshay Kumar is playing an archaeologist in the film that revolves around a mythical bridge that the god Rama is supposed to have built between ancient India and Sri Lanka in order to rescue his wife Sita from the demon Ravana.

The film also stars Jacqueline Fernandes and Nushrratt Bharuccha and will receive a theatrical release, with Cape of Good Films and Abundantia holding those rights, which will be followed by the global streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.

Stay tuned...
