Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film Ram Setu seems to have landed some legal trouble for the actor as political leader Subramanian Swamy has filed a petition seeking to have Ram Setu declared a national heritage monument. The apex court is set to hear the case next week as the politician claims that the issue has been misrepresented in the film and that facts have been tampered with. The film reportedly shows Akshay as an archaeologist who explores the secrets of Ram Setu.

In the film, Akshay’s character tries to uncover if the bridge is a myth or reality, which according to the Ramayana, was built by Lord Rama’s army of Vanara to reach Lanka to rescue Goddess Sita. —TMS
