Not many are aware of this fact about the movie that PadMan is based on a true story. It is an inspiring tale of a man named
Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social entrepreneur from Coimbatore. He not only understood the
deep-rooted problem of highly priced sanitary pads but also tried to solve it by inventing a low-cost sanitary pad manufacturing machine. His thoughtful deed deserves to be applauded by the millions in the country.
2. The cast

The primary objective of the movie is to
create awareness among women of backward classes and men about the existence of sanitary pads. 82% women in India don’t use sanitary pads for reasons such as lack of knowledge, awareness and money and 20% women in India are victims of cervical cancer. Hence, it is important to make the people of India realise the gravity of the problem.
4. Breaking stereotypes

In India, many
men shy away from even saying the word
‘Periods’ let alone talk about the problem related to it. And here, one of the most loved Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar will be helming this project creating an example for the rest of the men to be proud in taking care of their women and not be ashamed of even mentioning it.
5. Right thought behind the project
