  • Akshay turns 'superhero' for 'Padman'
Akshay Kumar poses as a superhero in a new poster of his next film "Padman", which touches upon the issue of sanitary napkins.
 
Akshay shared the new poster on Twitter. He is seen sporting a white kurta-pyjama and standing on a pile of cotton. 
 
The caption on the poster reads: "Superhero hai yeh pagla".
 
"Superhero hai yeh pagla, aa raha hai January 26, 2018 ko: 'Padman'," Akshay tweeted.
 
Actress Sonam Kapoor also shared the same poster and captioned it: "A great representation of Gandhi's quote, 'Be the change you wish to see in the world'. 'Padman' brings you an inspiring true story this Republic Day."
