Like Baby and Airlift, Akshay Kumar has booked the Republic Day weekend for Padman. The film is all set to hit the screens on January 26, 2018, and will lock horns with Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee starrer Aiyaary at the box office. Post Padman, Akshay will be seen in two projects next year. With first being Rajinikanth‘s 2.0, which is touted to be the most expensive Indian film ever, the second is Gold, which will showcase the journey of India winning the first Olympic gold medal as the free nation. The film is expected to release during the Independence day weekend.
