Akshay embarks on PadMan journey

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, who is fresh from the success of Subhash Kapoor's Jolly LLB 2 began the shoot of his next movie PadMan, his wife Twinkle Khanna's maiden project as a producer.

"Embarking on a new journey, this time with the Mrs. First day of PadMan, directed by R Balki. Need your love and luck as always," Akshay tweeted along with a picture in which he is seen holding Twinkle's hand as they overlook a water body.

Twinkle retweeted his post, and wrote, "And so it begins PadMan." PadMan is said to be a biopic on Arunachalam Muruganantham, and will chronicle his journey of finding a way to make cheap, affordable sanitary napkins for women in his village. Ace lensman PC Sreeram had last week revealed that the shoot of the film will take place in a village near Indore.
