Amidst the preparation for the prequel of 'Kantara', Rishab Shetty along with his wife Pragathi Shetty graced the grand celebration of Pran Pratishtha Mahotasav in the divine land of Ayodhya on being invited by the Indian Government.
On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi graced the Ram Mandir inauguration as the chief guest. Around 8000 celebrated guests were invited to the grand occasion.

At the Pran Prathistha, Bollywood also rallied up, and we saw who's who of the tinsel town fly down to the holy city to pay their respects to Lord Ram. While there were many, including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Katrina Kaif, Rohit Shetty, and more, it is the latter that has caught the attention of the netizens.
You ask how? Well, by posting an interesting video on his official Instagram handle. Rohit Shetty, who attended the consecration with his friends from the fraternity, shared a video from the same. Shot by Vicky, it has Shetty, Katrina, Ranbir, and Alia. The reel also has a few glimpses from the grand morning and the beautiful surroundings of the temple. However, what caught the attention of the netizens is the shot of a helicopter showering rose petals on the Ram Mandir.
In the comments section, fans and followers of Rohit Shetty are happy and also quirky. Some claim that it was Rohit Shetty who gave the organizers the idea to do it. The reference is the use of helicopters in his movies. The last time was, of course, Sooryavanshi where Akshay Kumar had an elaborate stunt on it. He was even introduced as a part of his next Singham Again on a helicopter. Reacting to the scene at Ram Mandir, a fan wrote, "Ye Chopper Wala Idea Jarur Rohit Shetty Ka Hi Hoga." Another wrote, "Rohit sir ye aapka helicopter hoga pakka."
