2018 is going to be all about Akshay Kumar from Padman to Gold, he has back to back releases lined up for the upcoming year. He has taken it on him to do offbeat and real-life inspired movies like Padman which is based on a true story of a social entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented and provides low-cost sanitary napkins to poor women in rural areas.
Even his last box office success Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was a satirical comedy in support of improvement in the sanitary conditions, with an emphasis on the eradication of open defecation, especially in rural areas.
Kumar on Sunday shared a video of himself jumping in joy and captioned it: “A good beginning makes a good ending… True story. It’s a wrap for ‘Gold’, an incredible journey with a great team. See you at the movies.”
