Akshay Kumar is killing it with his back to back work schedule. The actor, who recently wrapped up Toilet - Ek Prem Katha in Bhopal, has started working on his next film Padman.
Akshay’s wife Twinkle Khanna is all set for her debut production venture Padman and the movie started rolling Madhya Pradesh.
The movie is based on a real-life story of a social entrepreneur, Arunachalam Muruganantham, who took it up to himself to provide low-cost sanitary napkins to women from poor economic states across rural India.
The shooting of Padman kick started in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. However, it is still not clear if the lead star cast has arrived on location for shoot.
Earlier, Akshay had even shared a quirky poster of the movie.
Cinematographer P. C. Sreeram shared a photo and wrote, “My next journey with Balki starts here. May the force be with us.”
Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar had recently met Arunachalam Muruganantham and had a conversation about his life and the film.
Mrs Funnybones has even dedicated a chapter ‘The Sanitary Man from a Sacred land’ to Arunachalam, a school drop-out from Coimbatore in Kerala in her book, ‘The legend of lakshmi Prasad’.
Directed by R Balki, Akshay Kumar will be playing the lead role alongside Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte.
