Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar will be visiting Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, soon for the muhurat shot of Ram Setu. The actor will be flying to Ayodhya on March 18 for the important shot from Ram Janmabhoomi, reports said.

Director Abhishek Sharma and creative producer Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi will join him in the temple town. The filming date will be announced later.

Sharma reveals that the actor will be seen in a new avatar. “Akshay sir plays an archaeologist and his look and character is inspired by several Indian and international professional archaeologists who work in the field. In terms of both look and character, Akshay sir’s fans are in for a totally new avatar of his,” Sharma says.

When it comes to the leading ladies Jacqueline Fernandez and Nushrratt Bharuccha, Sharma shares, “They both play strong, independent women with well-etched out parts. We are keeping their looks under wraps for now!”

Notably, it was Dwivedi who came up with the idea of starting the Ram Setu journey in Ayodhya. “What better way to embark upon the journey of Ram Setu than to kick-off at the very birth place of Lord Ram,” he exclaims.

Going on to explain the thought behind picking the location, Dwivedi says, “Having visited Ayodhya several times myself, I suggested to Akshay and the team that we should launch the production schedule with blessings from the holy temple of Lord Ram. We are scheduled to hold our mahurat shot in Ayodhya and commence our filming on an auspicious note.”
