While the unconventional story line of the film may be one of the reasons for low footfalls, another reason for the same is that Pad Man is facing tough competition from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat which is still going pretty strong in theatres. Going by the current trend, Akshay Kumar's Pad Man should manage to cross the Rs 60 crore mark in its first week.
