Akshay Kumar: Commercial cinema can change people's perception.

Actor Akshay Kumar, who starred in films
like "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" and "Pad Man"
that depicted issues like sanitation and
menstruation hygiene respectively, says that
making documentary films won't change
people's mind the way commercial cinema
impacts on changing the society in a
positive way.
"Documentary films won't help because
people want to see hero-heroine falling in
love, fighting with parents, fighting with
villains. A commercial cinema will create
such impact because audiences relate with
actors," Akshay said at the Niine Menstrual
Awareness Conclave here on Monday.
The Niine movement, an ambitious five-year
plan aimed at raising awareness about the
importance of menstrual hygiene and
tackling the taboos associated with
menstruation, has been officially launched at
the inaugural conclave to mark Menstrual
Hygiene Day.
The conclave is supported by Akshay who
has been appreciated a lot for his role in
"Pad Man". Akshay said such films will
change the mindset of people.
"I have got the feedback of people for my
film 'Toilet...' who said that 'Your film actually
changed the mindset'," he said.
