Sonam Kapoor will be next seen in Akshay Kumar and Radhika Apte starrer PadMan. The film is said to be based on a man who is responsible to invent low-cost pads for women.

He is Arunachalam Muruganantham. In the film, Akshay and Radhika are playing the role of married couple while as per sources Sonam will be seen playing a tabla player.

Mukta Madan Raste, the renowned Tabla player confirmed the news, "Sonam has been learning how to play the tabla from me."

Also a source said, "As Sonam plays a tabla player in Padman, she is making time to learn the nuances of playing the instrument. Even while travelling, she takes a music book along and finds time to practise on her own. Mukta also has a small role in the film and she plays a sarangi player and trains Sonam, too."

Added the source, "It is noteworthy that she is learning an instrument for a film when she does not really need to. In any case, it takes anyone years to properly learn the instrument."
