The Bollywood movie "Pad Man," directed by R. Balki, is scheduled to hit Chinese screens on Dec. 14. It stars Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in lead roles.
The film is based on a short story from Twinkle Khanna's book, "The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad," inspired by the life of Tamil Nadu's entrepreneur and social activist Arunachalam Muruganantham, who has made it his mission to provide low cost sanitary napkins to women in India's rural areas.
Focusing on their often poor living conditions, "Pad Man" is primarily an appeal for more respect to be paid to the care of women in India's vast countryside.
It has attracted audiences running into the millions since its domestic release.
Promoting his film on the premier in Beijing on Wednesday, the director said: "I hope Chinese audiences will like the movie and that it will promote wider cultural exchanges between China and India."
