And, in this regard, Akshay Kumar, a popular Bollywood face has made a couple of biopics that already garnered enough critical acclaim and credits for his versatility in acting.

In addition to that, Akshay Kumar is all set to release his upcoming movie ‘Padman’. It is all about the establishment of sanitary pads used by women. His efforts in bringing such sensible movie must be well appreciated. Padman is a biographical social-drama film.
