'Padman' Akshay Kumar shares the first look of his co-stars Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Aptey from the film
Revealing her first look in Padman, actor Sonam Kapoor today said it was a joyous experience to work with the "indomitable" Akshay Kumar in the real-life inspired story. Directed by R Balki, the movie is based on the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented the first low-cost sanitary napkins in India.
"Such a pleasure working with the indomitable Akshay Kumar. He was the perfect person to play the role of Padman and has brought a sense of humour and love to the film," Sonam wrote, unveiling her first look from the film.
"Of course, none of these would have been possible without the humble visionary R Balki," she added.
