PadMan is tax free says Chief Minister; spreading awareness

Akshay Kumar’s latest venture ‘PadMan’ has been a hit with the nation, even in Pakistan-although the Pakistan Censor Board had banned it.

‘PadMan’, which creates awareness about menstrual hygiene, will be made tax-free in Rajasthan, Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje announced on February 16, 2018. Raje said she wants a maximum number of women to see the film so that the message on sanitary hygiene can spread.

Directed by R Balki, ‘PadMan’ also features Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in pivotal roles.
