AKSHAY KUMAR'S PADMAN BECOMES THE FIRST MOVIE TO RELEASE IN RUSSIA SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH INDIA

Akshay Kumar is ready with his next much-awaited movie Padman which is based on Arunachalam Muruganantham, a Tamil Nadu based social activist's life who revolutionized the rural areas with his low-cost sanitary napkins manufacturing machine. The movie also stars Radhika Apte, and Sonam Kapoor, produced by Twinkle Khanna and directed by R. Balki. The movie is going strong on the buzz with its postponed release date, or the padman challenge or special screening for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This movie is one of its kind as the movie is based on an issue which is not even taken care of in Hollywood.

All the hype and publicity paid off well, as the Akshay Kumar starrer movie becomes the first Indian movie to release in Russia on same day and date as on in India. Akshay Kumar took to his Twitter to share this news; here is what his tweet reads:

Happy to share, our film #PadMan becomes the first Bollywood film to be released in Russia on the same day and date. So Russia, see you at the movies on 9th February, 2018! @padmanthefilm @SonyPicsIndia @radhika_apte @mrsfunnybones @SonyPicsIndia @kriarj #RBalki pic.twitter.com/k8g2k603bQ
