Akshay Kumar is on deadly mission in 'Ram Setu' trailer
What's the story
The trailer of Akshay Kumar's upcoming Bollywood film Ram Setu was unveiled on Tuesday. In the two-minute-long trailer, Kumar is introduced as an archaeologist on a mission to save Ram Setu in a matter of three days. The action-adventure drama is all set to hit the cinema halls on Diwali i.e., October 25. Take a look at the highlights of the trailer.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Kumar has had three theatrical releases this year namely Samrat Prithviraj, Bachchhan Paandey, and Raksha Bandhan. But none of the films performed well at the box office and they did not receive positive reviews either. His other film titled Cuttputlli had a direct-to-OTT release, but it was also not received well. So, it's important for Khiladi Kumar to see success in Ram Setu.
Observation
What does the trailer show?
The trailer starts with a courtroom hearing and we are told that the government has sought Supreme Court to demolish Ram Setu. We see Kumar being sent on an expedition to Ram Setu, only to discover later that he was being framed to die. But he heroically comes out alive walking on the sea with a stone from the bridge on his shoulder.
