4. The Real PadMan’s Life Is as Entertaining as ‘Sholay’: R Balki
PadMan, an upcoming Hindi film that focuses on menstruation and women's health, will be as high on entertainment as the evergreen Sholay, says the film’s director R Balki, who believes that there's no point in being preachy to the audience.
Inspired by the life of Coimbatore-based Arunachalam Muruganantham, who found a way to make cheap and affordable sanitary napkins for women in his village, PadMan features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte.
Balki, who was in the capital for an event held by Ficci Ladies Organsiation (FLO), refused to describe PadMan as a ‘social or message-based' film.
His (Muruganantham’s) life itself is equal to Sholay. It is as entertaining as the biggest masala entertainers... And when you have a life that is so entertaining, why do I need to add entertainment?R Balki, Filmmaker
