Top filmmaker R Balki is a remarkable storyteller who has
directed films specifically Cheeni Kum, Paa and Shamitabh. Now, he is gearing
up for his next directorial that is PadMan starring Akshay Kumar in the titular
role.
Balki is all admirations for Akshay and spoke about him to a
tabloid stating, "Akshay is a huge star, but more than that, he is a
fantastic actor. We always keep thinking of him as a great star, but he is one
of the most incredible actors because he lives the role. He showed deep
conviction while bringing to screen Muruganantham’s life."
Film PadMan is based on Arunachalam Muruganantham, the
inventor of low-cost sanitary napkins for women in rural areas. And Balki further
added that the movie is an adaptation and not a docu-drama.
The director further added, "Of course there’s a bit of
fiction in it, but for cinematic purposes, we all take liberties. But what
matters is, cinematically how we deliver Muruganantham’s life and do justice to
it, I don’t think anybody could have done it better than Akshay Kumar."
Padman is produced by Twinkle Khanna's Mrs. Funnybones
Productions and also stars Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor. The movie is scheduled
to release on January 26, 2018.
