Produced by his wife Twinkle Khanna , the movie has been in the news ever since it was announced a few months back with filmmaker R. Balki at the helm of the affairs. Since major portions of the film have already been canned, the makers have now announced the official release date of the movie. Yes, Padman will release on 13th April 2018 and will be Khiladi Kumar’s second release of 2018 after 2.0 which is slated for release on the Republic Day weekend.
