‘Padman’, starring Akshay Kumar in the lead role and Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor in pivotal ones, is based on the life of A Muruganantham. He is the man who created revolution by inventing a machine that can make low-cost sanitary napkins for those women in villages and remote areas, who cannot afford the luxury of big brands. Twinkle Khanna brought his story to life in the form of a novella that she wrote and now, with her maiden productions she is coming up with this movie, starring hubby Akshay Kumar. Given the star’s knack for earthy comedy, and his tryst with social-cause based roles, we are sure Akshay would do justice to the role of Muruganantham.

After the superman-esque poster of the movie that was released recently, now the makers have released another poster of the movie. Here it is. Akshay took to his Twitter handle and shared the same with the caption, “#PadManTalks : Mad only become famous!”

We can surely see the mad gleam of hope in the eyes of Akshay, as he steps into the shoes of Muruganantham. The real padman must be proud of the reel one.

‘Padman’ is stated to release on January 26, 2018, i.e. Republic Day. The movie was earlier clashing with ‘2.0’, another Akshay Kumar-starrer, but the release date of latter has now been pushed to April 27, 2018. Good that both the movies are not clashing now, and will be raking in individual moolah. (Also Read: Padman: A Muruganantham is happy that Akshay Kumar is portraying his story)

On work front, apart from ‘padman’, Akshay Kumar is a busy man. He is working on Excel Entertainment’s ‘Gold’ as well, where he will be sharing screen space with Mouni Roy, who will be making her Bollywood debut with the movie. Apart from this, he will tentatively be a part of the fourth instalment of Sajid Khan’s ‘Housefull’ as well, however nothing on cast or release date front has been announced yet on it.
