When asked about the idea, research and expectations of the movie. Akshay said, “I didn’t do the research, my wife (Twinkle) did it. The concept is hers and it was written by R. Balki. It is a very honest subject which we have to bring in front of the Indian audience. It is a must subject which is why I went for it.”
Also when asked about venturing into acquiring theatres, He said, “No. I would like to only make cinema. I won’t be able to do that (acquire theatres) because there will be too much work for me.”
Did you know that Akshay Kumar finds Marathi movie’s content better Hindi movie’s content. He actually said that at the event. “The content that Marathi films are providing is much better than Hindi cinema. I have watched them and made remakes of two such films. I have also made Marathi cinema. So, I think whatever small problem is there, has been solved,” said Akshay.
Neeraj Pandey’s Aiyaary is also releasing on the same date which is clashing with Akshay’s Pad Man. When asked about this clash, Akshay said, “Both the films are absolutely different from each other. Neeraj Pandey (director) is a dear friend. And, yes, this word ‘clash’ has actually come from the media. We have no problem in releasing films. There are around 4,000-5,000 screens in India and my film is screened in 2,800 screens. I think it’s fair enough.”
