Sonam hopes to be in the same frame as Radhika one day.

The film tells the story of social entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham's journey to make affordable sanitary napkins. Sonam said Muruganantham's story is important.

"Last but the most important Arunachalam Muruganantham, your story was an important one to tell and thanks for trusting our team for doing it," she said.
