Just how many films is Akshay Kumar going to do every year? He has just completed and released Laxmii. Sooryavanshi is ready for release. Now comes the announcement on Diwali day of Ram Setu, a dramedy based on the theory of unity and brotherhood, to be directed by Abhishek Sharma.
Interestingly both Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Sharma had releases this Diwali. While Akshay’s Laxmii opened to mixed responses, Sharma’s Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the first Hindi film to open in theatres after the COVID-19 lockdown. Sharma has directed several middling comedies including Tere Bin Laden and Shaukeens. He hit big time with the John Abraham political bio-pic Parmanu. While not much is known about Sharma’s collaboration with Akshay Kumar, sources say Ram Setu will speak of the urgent need for unity and brotherhood in the fragmented and fractured global scenario.
This Deepawali,let us endeavor to keep alive the ideals of Ram in the consciousness of all Bharatiyas by building a bridge(setu) that will connect generations to come.
