#PadManChallenge has gone viral with almost the entire B-Town participating in it. But will Aiyaary actor Sidharth Malhotra be accepting the challenge is something which needs to seen.

Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film Pad Man has opted for a promotional and effective strategy where you have to pose with a sanitary pad and challenge your friends for participating in the same.

From Aamir Khan to Katrina Kaif, everyone who was challenged to pose with the pad has completed the challenge and the latest celeb (Katrina) to do so has nominated Aiyaary‘s lead actor Sidharth for the same.

Thank u for tagging me @varundvn @anushkasharma . Yes, that’s a pad in my hand & there’s nothing to be ashamed about … it’s natural! Period . Best of luck to @akshaykumar @sonamkapoor @radhikaofficial for the film #padman 🌟✨👍 here I am tagging @aliabbaszafar @anaitashroffadajania @s1dofficial 🌞

Katrina, who participated in the challenge, has nominated Sidharth among others to pose with the pad as part of the #PadManChallenge. Those of you who are wondering why is this such a big news is the fact that Akshay and Sidharth were all set to clash at the box office with their respective films on two occasions.

Yes, Aiyaary and Pad Man were both earlier scheduled to release on the Indian Republic Day weekend. But due to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat entering the frame from nowhere, both the films had to shift their release date.

But Padmaavat‘s release date didn’t solve the Pad Man vs Aiyaary clash as the shift in dates for both the films made a second bout at the box office on February 9.

The makers of Pad Man and Sidharth’s Aiyaary settled on the same date and were again set to battle for supremacy at box office. But the latter’s film tussle with Central Board of Film Certification somehow avoided this clash.

Neeraj Pandey’s Aiyaary had to postpone its release date because the CBFC didn’t clear the film for a release and it was shifted from February 9 to February 16.

When films clash at the box office it’s a situation where even the actors go toe to toe. If it would have been the case then indeed it would have been Akshay vs Sidharth, but that scenario is now out of the question now.

But Sidharth, who has been vocal about socially relevant problems, accepting the challenge is something the fans of the Gentleman want to see.

In fact the two actors are on good terms with each other.  Sidharth and Akshay have even shared the screen space in Karan Johar’s Brothers and have even promoted each other’s films A Gentleman and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha in 2017.

But to promote your colleague’s film at a time when even your own film is about to release is something the fans have rarely witnessed in Bollywood.

Well, Sid accepting Katrina’s #PadManChallenge will indeed be A Gentleman’s gesture on part of the Aiyaary actor.
