On being asked why ‘PadMan’ moved its release date and not ‘Padmaavat’, the National-award winner actor said both the movies could have easily released on the same day but at the moment the stake of ‘Padmaavat’ was much higher than his film. Akshay and filmmaker Bhansali announced that PadMan’s release date has officially been postponed to February 9.
When asked why 'PadMan' moved its release date and not 'Padmaavat', Akshay replied, "They have a reason to release the movie this time. It is really essential for the makers of 'Padmaavat' to release the movie as early as possible. We could have easily come out on the same day, we have 4000-5000 theatres all over the nation and we could have easily shared them. But at the moment the stake of their film is much higher than mine. So, he asked me to do it and I did it".
Akshay starrer is a biopic based on the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, who makes cheap and affordable sanitary pads for the women of his village and fights for menstrual hygiene. Helmed by R. Balki, 'PadMan' also stars Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte.
