The makers of Akshay Kumar starrer PadMan have released the second song of the film, Hu Ba Hu. The songs features Akshay Kumar and Sonam Kapoor.
Akshay earlier 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.
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.
"We would want the film to be shown to school girls and principals, so it penetrates where it has to. At least we are hoping a conversation starts where the same girls, who can't afford a sanitary pad, would say to their parents that we don't need fairness creams, we need sanitary pads so that we can go to schools."
PadMan is directed by R Balki. It will open in cinema houses on January 26.
