Akshay Kumar opens up about 'PadMan' and his next collaboration with Karan Johar and Salman Khan
Akshay Kumar has teamed up with his wife, Twinkle Khanna for his upcoming film, 'PadMan'. Twinkle Khanna's debut production venture, 'PadMan' is being directed by R Balki.

When asked Akshay if as a producer did Twinkle come to the sets every day, Akshay revealed that Twinkle hates sets. The actor added, "She hardly comes for the shoot. She is allowing the director to take charge of the material exactly they way he wants. Since she was a part of the industry and has seen her parents at work, a film set is the last place she wants to be. She hates it."

However, the actor further revealed that as much as Twinkle hates being on the sets, she was totally involved during the scripting stage. Akshay explained, "When the script was in the works, she was clued into every step of research. But if my wife wasn't producing the film, I'd have still done the film."

Talking about the film, Akshay said, "I am not here to make a documentary. Of course, we won't preach, but what we have to say has been done carefully, with slight humour, subtlety and maturity that the subject demands."

During the course of the interview Akshay also revealed that his project is a collaboration between him, Karan Johar and Salman Khan, Salman won't act in the project. Akshay signed off saying, "Yes, it's true that Salman is just producing the film and I am acting in it. It'd have been great to share screen space with him, but that's not what the script requires.
