Though many critics tagged Toilet: Ek Prem Katha as a propaganda film pushing the government’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, Akshay will continue his journey of socially responsible cinema with R. Balki’s directorial PadMan. It is on the life of Coimbatore-based Arunachalam Muruganantham, who found a way to make cheap and affordable sanitary napkins for women in his village.
Recently Akshay was asked if there are any free screenings for Toilet: Ek Prem Katha taking place in the country, he said: “Many places the government themselves are showing it… I have heard they are doing it currently in Haryana. Many villages in UP are screening the film. I just heard that even Doordarshan wants to show the film very soon so that maximum people can watch it as soon as possible.”
