Today
(November
14,
2020),
on
the
eve
of
Diwali,
actor
Akshay
Kumar
not
only
announced
his
upcoming
project,
but
also
shared
its
first
look
poster
with
netizens
on
social
media.
The
project,
titled
as
'Ram
Setu',
features
Akshay
in
the
lead
role.
It
will
be
helmed
by
Abhishek
Sharma
and
bankrolled
by
Abundatia
Entertainment
and
Cape
of
Good
Films.
Unfortunately,
the
poster
of
Ram
Setu
wasn't
received
well
by
netizens,
and
they
were
hell-bent
on
slamming
Akshay
for
hurting
their
religious
sentiments.
According
to
netizens,
the
tagline
of
poster
that
reads
'Myth
or
Reality'
didn't
go
down
well
with
netizens,
and
they
started
attacking
Akshay
with
mean
tweets.
A
netizen
wrote,
"Myth
or
Reality?
U
r
in
doubt.
But
we
Hindus
are
not.
We
all
know
the
#ramsetu
history
and
we
will
teach
about
it
you
too.
We
all
are
going
to
boycott
your
this
movie
too."
Another
Twitter
user
wrote,
"These
people
want
to
fill
us
with
inferiority
complex
by
mocking
our
religion
in
every
movie
and
web
series.
Stay
Vigilant!!"
"In
Your
poster
must
include
it's
not
myth
it's
REALITY," replied
another
user
to
Akshay's
tweet.
"Dear
Akshay,
do
not
play
that
secularism
card
like
Your
last
film..
make
sure
there
are
no
myth
and
no
unnecessary
gyan
on
our
believe
and
our
God.
Best
wishes,"
tweeted
a
netizen,
while
expressing
his
disappointment
over
the
poster
of
Ram
Setu.
We
wonder
if
Akshay
would
react
to
the
criticism.
With
respect
to
work,
the
actor
recently
seen
in
Laxmii.
The
film
released
on
November
9,
2020
on
Disney+
Hotstar.
He
will
next
be
seen
in
Bell
Bottom,
which
will
hit
the
theatres
on
April
2,
2021.
