Taking this mammoth task ahead,here is our humble attempt - #RamSetu."

Akshay has said the story of Ram Setu represents strength, bravery, love, and Indian values that have "formed the moral and social fabric of our great country". He said, "Ram Setu is a bridge between generations past, present and future. I look forward to telling the story of a significant part of Indian heritage, especially for the youth and I am happy that, with Amazon Prime Video, the story will cut across geographies and strike a chord with viewers across the world."

Directed by Abhishek Sharma of Parmanu fame, Ram Setu will be produced by Akshay's Cape of Good Films, Abundantia Entertainment, Lyca Productions and Amazon Prime Video.
