Radhika
Apte
Plays
Akshay
Kumar's
Wife
Earlier
while
talking
about
her
role
to
Mumbai
Mirror,
Radhika
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Akshay's
is
the
main
part,
but
I
play
his
wife
and
that's
a
crucial
role.
In
certain
films
it's
not
about
the
length
of
the
role
but
what
your
part
adds
to
it.There's
a
lot
of
meat
in
this
character
and
I'm
excited."
Padman
Is
A
Fictionalized
Biopic
The
real
life
Padman
Arunachalam
Muruganantham
had
revealed
that
Akshay's
film
is
a
fictionalized
biopic.
He
had
said,
"They
have
taken
the
core
of
my
story
and
set
it
in
fiction,
taking
many
instances
and
references
from
my
experiences.
It
is
not
a
quintessential
biography,
like
Gandhi."
