"Such a pleasure working with the indomitable Akshay Kumar. He was the perfect person to play the role of 'Padman' and has brought a sense of humour and love to the film," Sonam wrote, unveiling her first look from the film.

"Of course, none of these would have been possible without the humble visionary R Balki," she added.

Padman is an incredible story that Akshay Kumar has brought to life with such grace and humility. Coming to a city near you!"
