For producer Vikram Malhotra, Ram Setu is more than the sum of storytelling, budgets and visual effects. “It is about heart and vision,” he says. Abhishek Sharma’s directorial venture sees Akshay Kumar as archaeologist Dr Aryan Kulshrestha who races against time to prove the existence of the Ram Setu.
Given the subject, the makers knew that detailed research would be key to telling the story. Malhotra says, “[We] consulted Dr Pushkar Bhatnagar’s book, Dating The Era of Lord Ram, which is considered an authority on astrological understanding related to the Ramayana. Abhishek and team engaged with experts in the fields of archaeology, sonar imaging, carbon dating, geology, and marine exploration. The research team also studied ancient and modern history maps, including those housed in the museum at Thanjavur that have shed light on how the Ram Setu was depicted and how its name was changed to Adam’s Bridge
under the British [rule].”
