Akshay Kumar has finally donned the hat of an archaeologist for his role in the forthcoming film Ram Setu. The actor took to his social media pages and announced that he has kick-started the shoot of the film finally. He wrote, 'The journey of making one of the most special films for me begins today. #RamSetu shooting begins! Playing an archaeologist in the film.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the look? It always matters to me.' Akshay posted his first look from the film in which he is donning a salt-and-pepper long hairdo with thin-framed spectacles. The superstar is seen in a pensive mood and has rightly got into the skin of his character.

Ram Setu also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Nushrratt Bharuccha. Akshay Kumar had announced the film on Diwali last year by releasing posters on his social media. Now with everything planned, the makers are busy ensuring all the safety protocols are in place for a smooth shooting experience.

The filmmaker had revealed that the idea for this Akshay Kumar starrer germinated from a news article about a court case related to the issues faced by project to build a shipping canal in the shallow straits between India and Sri Lanka. On the other hand, while speaking with a tabloid, Akshay had called the film "a bridge between generations past, present and future."
