    About the film 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha'

    Open defecation is a major social issue and to bring it to public notice, Akshay raised his voice through his movie, 'Toilet- Ek Prem Katha.' In the film, Akshay's struggle to build a toilet inside his house, to win back his wife, became an instant hit. Even if just one man in real life follows his reel-life character, we would consider it his success.
