The film is based on one of the story- The Sanitary Man of Sacred Land, in Twinkle Khanna’s book, ‘The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad’, which is inspired from the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham.

Tamil Nadu-based social activist Arunachalam Muruganantham, revolutionized the concept of menstrual hygiene in rural India by creating a low-cost sanitary napkins machine. Padman aims at starting a conversation regarding women mensuration hygiene, which is still considered taboo in many parts of the country.

The film has largely been shot in Indore and New York. Co-Produced by Hope Productions, KriArj Entertainment, Columbia Pictures and Mrs Funnybones Movies, the film will be globally distributed by Sony Pictures.
