Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar on Tuesday began the shoot of Pad Man, his wife Twinkle Khannas maiden project as a producer. “Embarking on a new journey, this time with the Mrs. First day of ‘Pad Man’, directed by R. Balki. Need your love and luck as always,” Akshay tweeted along with a picture in which he is seen holding Twinkle’s hand as they overlook a water body. Twinkle retweeted his post, and wrote: “And so it begins ‘Pad Man’.” Pad Man is said to be a biopic on Arunachalam Muruganantham, and will chronicle his journey of finding a way to make cheap, affordable sanitary napkins for women in his village. Akshay Kumar’s Pad Man will have two ladies by his side. Sonam Kapoor took to Twitter and Instagram to share this good news that she along with Radhika Apte have been roped in to be a part of Pad Man that will be directed by R Balki. Sonam tweeted that she is thrilled to come onboard for the project and tagged Radhika Apte also in her post. It wasn’t easy to convince Muruganantham, however, after making Akshay and Twinkle wait for nearly one and a half year, he gave them the rights of Pad Man. As Muruganantham revealed to a leading tabloid, “This is not one of those movies that happened in a day or week. It has taken 1.5 years for us to give it a shape. A girl called Twinkle (Khanna) had been chasing me endlessly for rights. She tracked my every move. She desperately tried to reach me when I was in Malaysia and New York. She finally caught me in London. My friends were curious why would Twinkle want to meet me. It was only then I learned she is Rajesh Khanna’s daughter. I remember telling her, ‘Akshay Kumar has also been trying to get me for the rights.’ She’d laughed and said, ‘Yes, he is my husband.’” See the first picture here shared by Akshay Kumar https://twitter.com/akshaykumar/status/841544983647678464
