Akshay Kumar, 50, plays entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham, inventor of a low-cost sanitary pad making machine. He co-stars with Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in the film, directed by R Balki.

"I always wanted to work and make such films but I was not a producer during that time. I didn't have enough money, but now I can. My wife told me about Arunachalam Muruganantham and then we met R Balki. So we thought about making this movie," Akshay told news agency IANS.

PadMan hits the screens on February 9.
