Akshay
Kumar,
Sonam
Kapoor
and
Radhika
Apte
starrer
Padman
is
creating
waves
at
the
box
office
in
India
and
our
neighbouring
country
Pakistan
has
banned
the
movie
and
this
has
not
gone
down
well
with
the
director
R
Balki
as
he
called
the
act
"being
unfair
to
women
and
humanity."
He
said,
"You
can't
ban
a
film
like
this.
If
you
are
banning
this
film,
then
you
are
actually
being
unfair
to
women
and
humanity
because
it's
not
just
because
of
the
movie,
it's
because
of
a
story
of
this
man's
life
and
what
issue
its
addressing."
"It
has
been
banned
only
in
Pakistan.
I
think
they
have
their
own
reasons
but
I
think
they
are
wrong
reasons.
I
am
sure
there
(Pakistan)
will
be
a
lot
of
public
pressure
too,
to
kind
of
want
to
see
the
film
because
this
is
not
a
political
kind
of
stuff.
It's
a
simple
film
for
humanity."
"Recently,
a
person
from
the
central
ministry
met
me
and
said
that
menstruation
is
the
most
controversial
subject
in
India,
but
it
actually
had
no
controversy
as
a
film.
He
pointed
out
that
this
film
could
have
had
a
larger
controversy
and
so
many
religious
and
political
organisations
could
have
said
so
many
things
but
they
didn't,
and
they
actually
supported
it," he
summed
it
up.
