Akshay missed Ram Mandir consecration
Akshay was also shooting for the film in Jordan last month when the consecration of Ram Temple took place in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh on January 22.

Other celebs at BAPS
Among other celebrities attending the BAPS Hindu Temple’s inauguration in the UAE today is Shankar Mahadevan, music composer and singer who recently won a Grammy Award this month as part of his fusion band Shakti. Ahead of the inauguration, Shankar told ANI, “This is an extremely happy moment for India and all Indians all over the world. This is a historic moment in our lives where we are going to witness a Mandir which is so magnificent and spiritual coming on a land like Abu Dhabi. Only our PM Narendra Modi can execute this.”
Actor Dilip Joshi also told ANI, “Even after seeing this, it is difficult to believe that such a beautiful BAPS temple has been constructed. I was present here when the foundation stone of this temple was laid by PM Modi. The Ruler of Dubai has a big heart, he gave the land and permission to construct this temple. I pray that the message of harmony is spread across the world from this temple.”
