So,
while the Pad Man Vs Padmaavat (both releasing on Jan 25) is hotting up, here
is some news on Pad Man. We
were the first to tell you that Sonam Kapoor plays someone who comes into
Akshay's life after he is married to Radhika Apte.
This
R Balki directed upcoming film, produced by KriArj Entertainment (Prernaa Arora
& Arjun N Kapoor) is based on the real life story of Padma Shri Arunachalam
Muruganantham. He is the man who invented the machine that manufactures
sanitary pads at a low cost. Akshay plays the lead role.

But
you see, there was no 'other woman' who came into Muruganantham's
life.
SpotboyE.com
brings you yet another EXCLUSIVE piece of information on Pad Man. Sonam is a
fictional character in the film.
Confirming
this, Balki told SpotboyE.com, "Certain modifications were made
in Muruganantham's life story before we put it on celluloid, so that we
tell the story in a very interesting manner." 
Sonam Kapoor
Having
extreme faith in his director, Akshay perched himself first on the January
25 tree
when it was hotly rumoured that Padmaavat is planning to bag the same day for
its release. Padmaavat joined officially only later. Goes without saying that
it will be an extremely interesting fight to the finish.
Akshay
has been super excited about Pad Man from Day 1.
After
completing the shoot of Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, he had taken to his Twitter
account to announce the start of Pad Man. “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” he wrote and posted it with a picture of him
holding hands with Twinkle.

While
Radhika's enthusiasm and belief in Pad Man is known, Twinkle too is very high
on Pad Man.
Mrs
Funny Bones has said that everyone should watch this film as the subject is
socially relevant. “It is a beautiful inspiring story. It’s a socially relevant
film. Through Pad Man we want the story to reach every nook and corner of
India. The motive is to raise awareness about sanitary hygiene," Twinkle
had told the media.
We
bet the same has rubbed off on Sonam.
P.S. We are coming up with an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW of R BALKI- The Man Behind Pad Man. Don't go away.
