Ram Setu is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language action-adventure film directed by Abhishek Sharma, produced by Aruna Bhatia (Cape of Good Films), Vikram Malhotra (Abundantia Entertainment), Subaskaran, Mahaveer Jain, and Aashish Singh (Lyca Productions). The film stars Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Satya Dev and follows an archeologist who is investigating the true nature of Ram Setu, known in English as Adam’s Bridge.
The plot of 'Ram Setu' revolves around Aryan Kulshrestha (Akshay Kumar), an atheist archaeologist turned believer who must race against time to prove the true existence of the legendary Ram Setu before evil forces destroy the pillar of India’s heritage. Ram Setu is a bridge built by the god Rama’s army of Vanara to reach Lanka and rescue his wife Sita, who was abducted by Lanka’s Rakshasa king Ravana, according to the epic Ramayana (7th century BCE to 3rd century CE).
On Tuesday, October 11 the makers of the film released the film’s Official Trailer on their YouTube Channel named “Zee Studios”

Sharing the film’s Trailer they wrote, “Prime Video Presents In Association with Cape of Good Films and Lyca Productions An Abundantia Entertainment Production”
The trailer begins with a courtroom hearing in which it is revealed that the government has asked the Supreme Court for permission to demolish Ram Setu. Nassar said in the video that India runs on the belief in Lord Ram and asked how anyone could challenge that belief. He dispatches Akshay on an archaeological expedition to Ram Setu.
Akshay, who is accompanied on his mission by Jacqueline Fernandez and Satya Dev, defines the Hindi word ‘itihas (History)’ as “it thus happened.” Later, he realises that he was sent on this mission to die. Nushrratt Bharuccha also appears in a short clip implying that finding Ram Setu is impossible. The trailer concludes with Akshay emerging from the sea, a stone from the bridge on his shoulder, and his voiceover saying, “There are millions of Shri Ram temples in the world, but Setu is only one”.
Ram Setu is a chain of limestone shoals that connects Pamban Island, off the south-eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, and Mannar Island, off the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka. The submerged bridge is approximately 100 metres wide and up to ten metres deep.
