Actors Sonam Kapoor and Akshay Kumar were spotted shooting in Delhi for director R. Balki’s film Padman. The two were shooting inside Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday. The shoot of the film, which is being produced by Akshay’s wife Twinkle Khanna, generated a lot of curiosity when the stars stepped out for their lunch break.

The cast and crew of Padman are staying in Delhi for three days, before they wrap up their Delhi schedule. The film is based on the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham , a social entrepreneur from Coimbatore who invented low-cost sanitary napkins for the women in his village. He also created grassroots mechanisms for raising awareness on traditional unhygienic practices around menstruation in rural India.

On the second day of the shoot, the cast of the film shot in the In Lecture Theatre Complex, of Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi. Shot in closed auditorium, actor Radhika Apte (in green saree) also joined the crew today. The auditorium saw the presence of only the crew and selected audience.
