Arunachalam Muruganantham's story has been told and retold over the years through a book, a documentary and two Bollywood movies, Phullu (2017) and Padman (2018). His journey from being a doting husband to the earning title of ‘Padman’ is a fascinating one. A loving husband, who simply wanted to find a healthy alternative to the dirty, unhygienic piece of cloth that his wife would wash and reuse during her periods.
