Radhika Apte to essay the role of Akshay Kumar’s wife in ‘Padman’?

It was earlier reported that Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte have been roped in ‘Padman’ movie that stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role. Now, we have come across reports which state that actress Radhika Apte will essay the role of Akshay Kumar’s nagging wife in ‘Padman’.

A source close to a web portal says, “She plays a nagging wife who is embarrassed by her husband’s concern with her menstrual cycles. She threatens to leave him if he doesn’t get over his obsession with her and other women’s periods. When he doesn’t, she leaves him, but don’t worry, the light-hearted film has a happy ending.”

‘Padman’ is helmed by R Balki and produced by Twinkle Khanna. The story is based on the life of a man named Arunachalam Muruganantham. He was the first man to introduce cheap sanitary napkins for women in his village. He was born in Tamil Nadu and his social cause for women in his village also earned him a spot in the 100 Most Influential People in the World and he was also awarded Padma Shri in 2016.
