Padman Movies Story
The film will be based on "The Sanitary Man of Holy Land", a short story from Twinkle Khanna's book, The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad, which is inspired from the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a Tamil Nadu-based social activist who revolutionized the concept of menstrual hygiene in rural India by creating a low-cost sanitary napkins machine. Padman revolves around the story of Arunachalam who invented low-cost sanitary pads.
However, Akshay Kumar says �"I didn't want to make a documentary, I wanted to make a commercial film so people can see it. It's a film you can take your children to, even though it talks about sanitary pads. It's a universal subject. Nobody has ever tried to touch this subject."
Pad Man was envisioned to an be awareness film without focusing on the business aspect. The producers' main plan was to reach out to a large audience to create awareness and eradicate prevalent prejudice in India neighbour sanitary pads. As with Kumar's previous film, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, he hoped to educate the publics, both women and men, about menstrual hygiene and to stop labelling it as stigma or taboo in society.Furthermore, it was a claim towards politicians to drive their attention towards sanitary pads and making it mandatory across institutions.
