Akshay Kumar to star in film about sex education

Superstar Akshay Kumar is one of those rare celluloid stars who tries to adapt social issues in the big screen. The Mission Mangal star has now revealed a new project. The actor shared the news that he was in production on a feature film dealing with sex education and is currently working on it. Akshay was part of an In-Conversation panel at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah.

Speaking about the project, Akshay revealed in a news report by Hollywood trade magazine Deadline, "It’s a very important subject. In a lot of places, it is not there. We have all kinds of subjects we learn in school and sex education is one topic I would like all the schools in the world to have. It’s going to take time to release, it’s going to be April [or] May." He also added, "It’s one of the best films I’ve ever made. I like to do these sorts of films, social films. It’s not that big a commercial success film but it gives me satisfaction". 

Akshay has previously made back-to-back social message films with Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017) about the necessity of toilets in small towns and villages as well as Padman (2018) revolving around menstruation and the accessibility of sanitary products. The actor is part of several big-name Indian celebrities who have stopped in Jeddah to be part of the second annual Red Sea International Film Festival. Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Priyanka Chopra, Saif Ali Khan, and Kareena Kapoor Khan have already made their appearances.
