With just a few days left before the film hits theatres, the actor recently went on a promotional journey to visit the popular Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, also known as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link. Named after the former Indian Prime Minister, the 22-km-long sea link is also India’s longest sea bridge. Taking to his Instagram handle, the actor shared a video of his visit to Atal Setu as he enjoys travelling on a bus with a group of kids from the Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s alma mater. Expressing his excitement over the journey, he also mentioned that a new promotional video of the film will be released very soon and will feature the children. As the video proceeds, Tripathi shows a few photo frames and portraits of his film as created by the school children.
