Mumbai, Feb 9 (IBNS): Akshay Kumar starrer much anticipated Bollywood film Pad Man released on Friday.

Padman is a story of Tamil Nadu-based social activist Arunachalam Muruganantham, who created a low-cost sanitary napkin making machine.

Muruganantham was inspired to create an inexpensive pad after seeing his wife use rags during her monthly cycle, just like 88 per cent of the females in India who do not have access to sanitary products.

Akshay has essayed the role of Muruganantham in the film.

Apart from Akshay, Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor have played the other two lead roles in the film.

Akshay and his actor turned writer-designer wife Twinkle Khanna have jointly produced the film.

The film has been directed by R. Balki.
