Based on the life of Tamil Nadu-based social activist Arunachalam Muruganatham, who revolutionized the concept of menstrual hygiene in rural India by creating a low-cost sanitary-napkin machine.
Akshay's UN speech was shot in one take.
The sanitary-napkin machine shown in the movie is a functional life-size replica of the actual machine. Production of the replica machine for this movie was overseen by Mr Muruganantham himself.
This is only the second Hindi film to be granted access to shoot the film inside the headquarters of the United Nations in New York City (after 'Half Girlfriend' in 2017).
Some Pakistani women protested the ban on the film by sending pictures of them holding sanitary pads to the censor board.
