Kumar took to Twitter to post two pictures from the flick as the film clocked 2 years. "It's been 2 years to #PadMan and I'm glad we managed to push the envelope a little on this taboo subject," he tweeted.

"This #MenstrualHygieneDay, I hope we move a step closer towards ending period poverty and breaking taboos surrounding menstruation. @sonamakapoor@radhika_apte," his tweet further read.

The film deals with the issue of menstruation and stary hygiene. In the R Balki-directorial, Akshay stepped into the shoes of national hero Arunachalam Muruganantham; the inventor of low-cost stary napkins for women in rural areas.
