My life is not exciting to make a biopic, says Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar has worked in films like Airlift, Rustom and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. While all the three films are based on someone's life inspired by the incidents he is all set for another such film titled, "Padman".

He will be seen as Arunachalam Muruganantham, inventor of low-cost sanitary napkins for women in rural areas, in his upcoming release PadMan. The movie which is directed by R. Balki also stars Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor.

After being a part of successful biopics, when he was asked about the same by a leading daily, Akshay stated, "I don't know anything about being an expert. I've successfully done Airlift, which was about a businessman who helped evacuate 1,70,000 Indians from Kuwait. The second one was Rustom that was inspired by commander KM Nanavati. Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was based on the story of Anita and Shivram Narre and now, I'm doing PadMan, which is the true-life account of Arunachalam Muruganantham. These guys are real heroes and their lives have been truly inspiring."

On Arunachalam Muruganantham specifically, Akshay continued, "I admire him. Just imagine, he was almost the first Indian man who truly understood what his wife went through, month after month. And he felt that he needed to do something about it. By 'inventing' the low-cost sanitary napkin, he has done a service to the future generations of women."

Now that Sanjay Dutt's biopic has been made and is all set to hit the screens soon, will we get to see a biopic on Akshay? "No. Take someone like Sanjay Dutt. His life is interesting, so it makes sense to make a biopic on him. My life is not too exciting," Akshay replied.
