Pad Man: Akshay Kumar begins another journey

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has begun shooting for yet another film, ‘Pad Man’, which will be the first production of his wife Twinkle Khanna. The film will be directed by R. Balki.

“Embarking on a new journey, this time with the Mrs. First day of ‘Pad Man’, directed by R. Balki. Need your love and luck as always,” Akshay tweeted.

Twinkle said “And so it begins ‘Pad Man’”

“Pad Man” is said to be based on the true story of Arunachalam Muruganantham, who took it upon himself to manufacturer cheap, affordable sanitary napkins for women in his village. It’s said he was disturbed when he discovered his wife collecting filthy rags and newspapers to use during her menstrual cycle, as sanitary napkins made by multinational corporations were expensive.

  • plz everyone watch the 5 min documentary by aljazeera on Arunachalam Muruganatham..it’s awesome

  • Unique concept…Word-of-Mouth dependent movie..Akshay shifting his works..Nowdays,he is doing different kind of films..
    Akshay is an inspiration how he manage 4 films in 1 year??That’s something we people should learn and manage time..

  • The one man who dares. Dares to challenge release dates and dares to go for uncharted territories. I hope our country doesn’t feel awkward watching this movie. Hope the movie turns out well and makes people grow. All the very best.

  • This story is kind of woman empowerment and pro feminism if done in the right way..but if done in wrong way, then it will actually alienate male viewers..let’s see where it ends up..Have faith in R.Balki

  • No doubt,its a risky project.if movie is well made, families will like it or else it may bomb at bo.r.balki is an accomplished director though.

  • all the best akshay
    looking good film
    sureshot hit
    the difference between akki and ajay is
    akshay has choosed film oike padman 2.0 tepk
    and ajay has choosed to do a film urban romcom of luvranjan
    when the audience are not in a mood to watch urban romcom
    so
    after golmaal4 ajay career will over
    and also heitik has unofficially retired

  • He can afford these type of daring attempts this year.. there is robot2 to take care of box-office.. Hindi alone 1000crore

  • This pic is just too adorable . Akshay and Twinkle holding each other’s hands is just perfect . I am not sure about the content of Padman but I think it sounds interesting . I hope they announce the release date as soon as possible . All the best to the entire cast and crew for Padman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It will be hard hiting subject on social , the man made cheap sanitary part for women’s . If the film will emotionally connect women’s then it has chance to cross 100 crore . But I am not interested to watch such movie . But respect this superstar such handling subject . And once again common man role .

  • I think it has the potential to get 100 crore tag.after 2017 he will have10 100 crore grosser and seven continous 100 crore grosser

  • Hope it works. But akshay really needs a universal appealing film for his real fan base. He Keeps doing high society multiplex type movies. An enhance Rowdy Rathore type film is what he now need.

  • Look at the dress up of akshay Kumar, one of the rare film where a superstar take a big risk of making a film on sanitary pads, hats off for this, hope film will turn out to be a good one.

  • This is niche movie it should be some light moment in the film . Star cast is good Sonam & Radhika Apte . I think akki is only superstar of his era making some niche films . Lovely couple akki & twinkle .

  • @ vytus Manoj Kumar did patriotic & social film’s both are in same level . Akki is Manoj Kumar of our era .

  • From long ago All people wanted to see Akshay Kumar in this kinds of movie now he is doing it so there should be no complain guys

  • Joker part 2, this film has no chance whatsoever!!! why are ppl over reacting such as national awards, over 100 crores? Akshay should be targeting min 150 crores
