Pad Man Akshay Kumar proved he has the heart of gold when he shifted his film's release date to make way for Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Padmaavat on January 25th. But now his R Balki film is here in theatres and the celebrities are not just supporting the film in form of Pad Man challenge but even have words of appreciation for the film.
From Karan Johar to Ayushmann Khuranna, every one who has seen the film in Bollywood is giving Pad Man rave reviews. Twitter is flooded with congratulatory messages for Akshay Kumar and his wife Twinkle Khanna for delivering an entertaining film with a powerful message as well.
Balki has teamed up with Akshay for the first time for a film, which is a fictionalised account of Tamil Nadu-based Arunachalam Muruganantham, who created affordable sanitary napkins for the women of his village. The director says he always knew that Akshay would be the best person to portray Arunachalam's character. "Akshay is a simple guy. He's a lot like Arunachalam - no complications, no reading between the lines. He is simple. So he was bang on for the character. Akshay doesn't like complications and it suits me because I don't either.He doesn't think he is doing something great, never Tom-toms his own achievement. He celebrates quietly, moves on to the next one. I really like that about him." The filmmaker says because of this, the process of filming Padman was easy because both had huge respect for each other.
Padman, also starring Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte, deals with the issue of menstrual health. While Balki had already read about the story of Arunachalam, he decided to come onboard when Twinkle Khanna, also the producer of the film, got in touch with him via a mutual friend. "Here was an opportunity to do something which no one has done before - a film on (sanitary) pads! Twinkle started writing the book and I, along with Swanand Kirkire, started writing the script. So we have two different creative adaptations of his life."
