Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna And Sonam Kapoor Celebrate One Year Of Padman In THIS Way!
It has been a year since the release of Padman, and Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Twinkle Khanna took to their social media to reminisce about the special movie.
Akshay
Kumar's
Padman
was
a
breakthrough
film
in
Bollywood
which
challenged
long
held
taboos
related
to
menstrual
cycles
in
the
society,
and
also
pushed
the
boundaries
of
issues
broached
in
mainstream
Hindi
cinema.
Starring
Akshay,
Radhika
Apte,
and
Sonam
Kapoor
in
important
roles,
the
movie
was
based
on
the
story
of
Arunachalam
Muruganantham,
a
man
who
invented
low
cost
sanitary
napkins
in
rural
areas
of
Tamil
Nadu.
It's
Been
A
Year
Since
Padman
Well,
it
has
been
a
year
since
the
release
of
Padman
directed
by
R
Balki,
and
produced
by
Twinkle
Khanna
under
the
Mrs.
Funnybones
Productions,
and
Akshay,
Twinkle
and
Sonam
have
taken
to
their
social
media
to
celebrate
this
unconventional
movie.
Check
out
what
they
had
to
say!
Padman
Made
Akshay
Kumar
Step
Out
Of
His
Comfort
Zone
Akshay
Kumar
gave
his
heart
and
soul
to
the
film
when
it
was
made,
which
could
be
seen
by
the
way
he
went
all
in
to
promote
the
film
on
different
platforms.
Reminiscing
the
movie
and
the
role
it
played
in
his
life
with
regard
to
changing
his
perception,
Akshay
posted
this
photo
on
Instagram
and
wrote,
"A
film
which
literally
made
me
step
out
of
my
comfort
zone
but
I'd
do
it
again
without
batting
an
eyelid
if
it
helped
further
the
cause
of
menstrual
hygiene.
