Helmed by Abhishek Sharma, the film is inspired by the mention of the Ram Setu bridge in the Hindu epic Ramayana. Jacqueline Fernandez and Nushrratt Bharuccha are also a part of 'Ram Setu'.
On October 25, Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra's 'Thank God' was also released. Thank God's box office day one collection is lower than what one expects from a Diwali release.
According to Adarsh, the family entertainer minted Rs 8.10 crore on day one of the release.
"ThankGod relied completely on spot bookings on the biggg #Diwali holiday... Although Day 1 biz is not proportionate with the names attached, the biz gathered speed towards evening onwards... Needs to grow/jump in the long, *extended* weekend... Tue Rs 8.10 cr. #India biz," he posted on Twitter.
