Akshay Kumar and SOnam Kapoor in Pad Man

Akshay Kumar is a busy man with a lot of films lined up. But one very interesting film that we are eagerly looking forward to is ‘Pad Man’. This film is based on the life of a man named Arunachalam Muruganantham who invented a technique to produce low-price sanitary napkins for women of rural areas. He was the one to educate the women about the bad effects of unhygienic methods used to deal with menstruation.  Akshay Kumar would be essaying the titular role in this film while Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte would be the leading ladies.

Sonam is going to essay the role of a teacher in this film and in the motion poster we hear her teaching something important to Akshay. The motion poster reveals that ‘Pad Man’ is two words and not one.
