At the song launch today, the actor shared a funny anecdote about his wife, Twinkle Khanna, producer of the film. He narrated the incident, "There's so much when we go to meet the doctor. The doctor is talking and she takes over the doctor and asks him to listen. She uses these kinds of words that I have seen the doctor getting scared when she talks." Continuing further, Akshay added, " The doctor pleads me to come alone and not get your wife along. It's so scary."

'PadMan' revolves around a man who produces cost-effective sanitary napkins for the naïve women living in the remote areas and educating them about its importance. The film also stars actress Sonam Kapoor in a pivotal role. Inspired by the life of Coimbatore-based Arunachalam Muruganantham, who found a way to make affordable sanitary napkins for women in his village, 'PadMan' is set to release during the Republic Day weekend on January 26, 2018. The film has been written and directed by R. Balki.
In an interview to mid-day as part of the conversation series, Sit with Hitlist, Akshay Kumar had opened up on changing the film's release date from April 13 to Republic Day, 2018. He said, "It stemmed from the fact that a holiday release is an advantageous business proposition."
