TIL Desk Bollywood/Actor Akshay Kumar today said with “Padman”, about a man who develops a low cost sanitary pads, they are trying to reach out to a wider audience without looking at the commercial aspects of the movie.
“With ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ we had shown it (film) on Doordarshan channel, the government is also doing a good job by taking the film in a pen-drive and showing it in villages so that more people can see the film and understand it. “We will do something similar for this film (‘Padman’).
Our aim is not to earn money through the film but it should reach more people, more places where it is needed. We will also take the help of the government,” Akshay told reporters here at the song launch of “Padman”.
Akshay’s wife Twinkle, who is one of the producers of the film, said the team got in touch with various ministries about showing the film in schools in smaller towns and cities, to make more people aware about menstrual hygiene.
