Akshay and R Balki`s `PadMan` received a thumbs up from audience
New Delhi: Superstar Akshay Kumar is known for taking up films that focus on important issues. Be it the issue of open defecation in 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' or one of menstural hygiene in 'PadMan', Akshay has essayed each role brilliantly. As per a report in DNA, the actor is all set to team up with 'PadMan' director R Balki for yet another social drama titled 'Mahila Mandal'.
