Padman is such an exceptionally intended and relevant film! So proud of @mrsfunnybones to begin her foray as a producer with such an important film! Huge Congratulations to #Balki @sonamakapoor @radhika_apte @kriarj @akshaykumar."
Here are the other guests who watched
PadMan.
PadMan is based on Arunachalam Muruganantham, the entrepreneur who invented low-cost sanitary pad making machine. Akshay plays Mr Muruganantham and co-stars with Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor.
PadMan is directed by R Balki and is Twinkle Khanna's first film as a producer.
Various celebrities took up the '
PadMan Challenge' which was initiated by Mr Muruganantham last week. In the challenge, the celebs posed with a sanitary pad in hand to tell people that 'there's nothing to be ashamed about periods.' The '
PadMan Challenge' became a instant hit on social media.
