    Default Akshay Kumar★THE PAD MAN★ Released with super reports ★

    Padman: Akshay Kumar leads wife Twinkle Khanna on a new journey as her debut production begins shooting,

    After all the successful films delivered by Akshay Kumar in 2016 and Jolly LLB 2 this year, one can safely say that Khiladi Kumar is one of the most bankable superstars of Bollywood who know the tricks of the trade quite well. The actor who just wrapped the shooting of Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, is now preparing for another film, but with a difference. The latest film Padman is being produced by Mrs. Funnybones Movies, a new production house started by his wife Twinkle Khanna. And Akshay, being the perfect husband, is lending a supporting hand to Twinkle, quite literally, as the two embark on the journey of the film.
    Padman is a biopic of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a small town entrepreneur from Tamil Nadu who invented low-cost sanitary napkins to generate awareness in rural areas about its usages and hygiene. He was also awarded the Padma Shri, one of the highest civilian awards by the Government of India, in 2016.

    In Twinkle’s best seller book, The Legend of Laxmi Prasad, she has chronicled the story of Arunachalam Muruganantham in a short story titled, The Sanitary Man.
    Honouring his wife Twinkle Khanna’s presence and participation in the film, the actor tweeted,” Embarking on a new journey, this time with the Mrs. First day of @mrsfunnybones’ #Padman directed by R. Balki,need ur love & luck as always.
    We have seen Akshay Kumar as a lawyer, an army man and businessman Ranjit Katyal in his recent films. Now, whether or not we will get to see him play the lead role in Padman, or just remain behind -the-scenes as a support to his wife, is still unknown.

    After exploring various aspects of the human condition through films like 'Cheeni Kum', 'Paa', 'Shamitabh' and, more recently,'Ki And Ka', ad man turned-filmmaker R Balki has written another slice of-life film which will kick off next year.And leading the acting line-up is Akshay Kumar who is teaming up with the filmmaker for the first time.
    The film will also mark Akki's reunion with Amitabh Bachchan, a Balki film regular, ten years after the duo shared screen space in Rajkumar Santoshi's Family: Ties of Blood. Prior to that, the Big B had played Akshay's father in Vipul Shah's 2005 family drama Waqt: Race Against Time and fellow cop a year before that in Madhur Bhandarkar's crime-drama Aan: Men At Work.

    Last month, Balki met Akshay for a narration and the 49-year-old actor was delighted to learn that he was the filmmaker's first choice for the role. Balki, a self confessed superfan of Big B who has famously vowed to never make a film without him started working on two scripts after Ki And Ka released, starting out by developing Bachchan's character.



    Planning to kick off his next only after the release of wife Gauri Shinde's Dear Zindagi, Balki has decided to roll with the one featuring Akshay in 2017.

    It all began in 1998, when Arunachalam Muruganantham, the son of poor handloom weavers in South India, realised that his wife was using old rags to deal with menstruation because she couldn’t afford sanitary pads. Muruga was shocked. But he also saw a chance to impress her. He decided to produce her sanitary pads himself. At first it seemed a simple task: he bought a roll of cotton wool and cut it into pieces, the same size as the pads sold in the shops, and then wrapped a thin layer of cotton around it. He presented this homemade prototype pad to his wife and asked her to test it. The feedback she gave him was devastating: his pad was useless and she would rather continue using old rags.

    300
    million

    The number of women in India without access to safe menstrual hygiene products

    Where did he go wrong? What was the difference between his sanitary pads and those available at the shop? Muruga started experimenting with different materials, but was faced with another problem: he always had to wait a month before his wife could test each new prototype. Muruga needed volunteers and had an idea where he might find them. He askedmedical students at a university close to his village. Some of them actually tested his pads but they were too shy to give him detailed feedback. Left with no alternative, he decided to test the sanitary pads himself. He built a uterus using a rubber bladder, filled it with animal blood and fixed it to his hip. A tube led from the artificial uterus to the sanitary pad in his underpants. By pressing the bladder he simulated the menstrual flow.







    1 in 5:
    The number of girls in India who drop out of school due to menstruation.
    Unfortunately he began to smell foul and his clothes were often stained with blood. His neighbours soon noticed this. It was clear to them that Muruga was either ill or perverted. After a while his wife couldn’t stand the constant gossip. She left him and went to live with her mother.

    But Muruga didn’t give up. He knew why he was going through all this. During his research he had learned that only ten totwenty percent of all girls and women in India have access to proper menstrual hygiene products. This was no longer just about helping his wife. Muruga was on mission: to produce low-cost sanitary pads for all the girls and women in his country.

    It was two years before he finally found the right material and another four years before he developed a way to process it. The result was an easy-to-use machine for producing low-cost sanitary pads.Imported machines cost over US$500,000. Muruga’s machine, by contrast, is priced at US$950. Now women’s groups or schools can buy his machine, produce their own sanitary pads and sell the surplus. In this way, Muruga’s machine has created jobs for women in rural India. He has started a revolution in his own country, selling 1,300 machines to 27 states, and has recently begun exporting them to developing countries all over the world.

    Today he is one of India’s most well-known social entrepreneurs and TIME magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2014.

    Several corporations have offered to buy his machine, but he has refused, instead preferring to sell to women’s self help groups.

    Mumbai: Bollywood star 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.
    Ace lensman P.C. Sreeram had last week revealed that the shoot of the film will take place in a village near Indore.
