Akshay, who plays an archaeologist in the film, also took to his social media platforms to share details of their Ayodhya schedule for the film’s muhurat shot. Sharing a picture of himself with Jacqueline and Nushrratt, he wrote, “A special film, a special start…Team #RamSetu off to Ayodhya for the mahurat shot. And so the journey begins. Need special wishes from all you guys.”
