Writer
and
former
actress
Twinkle
Khanna,
who
has
turned
producer
with
Pad
Man,
says
she
is
proud
of
being
associated
with
a
movie
that
brings
the
spotlight
on
a
"shamed" subject
like
menstruation.
The
shoot
of
the
film
--
inspired
by
Arunachalam
Muruganantham
who
found
a
way
to
make
cheap,
affordable
sanitary
napkins
for
women
in
his
village
--
got
underway
last
week
in
Indore.
Talking
about
it,
Twinkle
said
at
an
event
here
on
Tuesday:
"It
(shoot)
is
going
very
well.
Mr
Muruganantham
was
also
there.
It's
a
wonderful
project.
It
will
bring
awareness
about
something
which
has
so
far
been
cloaked
and
shamed,
and
I
am
very
happy
to
be
a
part
of
the
film."
The
movie
features
Twinkle's
husband
and
actor
Akshay
Kumar
in
the
lead
role,
with
Radhika
Apte
featuring
as
his
wife.
It
is
being
directed
by
R.
Balakrishnan,
better
known
as
R.
Balki.
Twinkle
spoke
on
the
sidelines
of
L'Oreal
Professional's
launch
of
French
Browns,
the
colour
trend
of
2017.
