In the poster, the actor can be seen wearing a saffron scarf and spectacles. Sporting a dishevelled look, the poster has Hindu deity Ram in the background. The poster also has a line that says, “Myth or Reality?” hinting towards the mythical elements involved in the building of Ram Setu (bridge) by Hindu deity Ram with the help of the Vaanar Sena (Monkey Army) from India to Sri Lanka in an effort to rescue his wife Sita.
The film will be directed by Abhishek Sharma and Chandraprakash Dwivedi will be the creative producer. Dwivedi will be also directing Akshay in Prithviraj.
