Posts from several other celebrities such as Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan among others are pending.
PadMan, as mentioned above, chronicles the struggles of Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented a low cost sanitary pad making machine. Mr Muruganantham took the initiative to provide better menstrual hygiene conditions for the women of his family and those who could not afford sanitary pads.
PadMan, directed by R Balki, is an adaptation of Twinkle's short story, titled Sanitary Man From A Sacred Land, which was published in her second bestseller The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad. PadMan also stars Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor. The film was earlier scheduled to release along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat" but Akshay Kumar postponed the release to February on request from the director. PadMan will hit the screens on February 9.
