Bollywood star hero Akshay Kumar, who highlighted a social issue in his last film, ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, is back with another film that explores the life of a man who made the lives of women in rural areas better through numerous hardships.
The trailer of Akshay’s upcoming film “Pad Man” is out, and it gives a glimpse of the humorous and inspiring content in store. The film is based on the story of Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented low-cost sanitary pad making machines.
The trailer starts off with narration from Amitabh Bachchan, declaring ‘Pad Man’ as India’s answer to American superheroes like Superman, Spiderman and Batman. It then shows how Akshay, who strives to provide a hygienic life to the women of his family, works hard to make a sanitary pad, and try it out himself. When he offers the pad to his wife and sister, they scorn him off, calling the idea ‘shameful’. His persistent efforts lead to his wife leaving him and villagers shunning him.
Sonam Kapoor, a social worker then comes in as a guiding light to help Akshay materialize his dream, and eventually become an international figure. The inspiring film will have its worldwide release on 26th January, 2018.
