The film’s release was shifted to February 9. Recent reports say that the movie is being remade in Tamil, and actor Dhanush will reprise the role of Akshay Kumar in Tamil as per latest reports. The rumors are that the Tamil version of Padman featuring Dhanush in the lead role playing the real-life character Muruganantham will be produced By Colombia Pictures who bankrolled for Padman. There is no news about the female lead(s) for the Tamil Version as yet and no official confirmation as yet. However, the possibility looks promising. After all, Padman is a story that deserves to be taken to as many people as possible so that it can change those many mindsets and lives of women.
