Actor Akshay Kumar says cinema is not only a way to reach out to the masses but also to educate them. Be it "Padman", "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" or "2.0", which will be telecast on Zee Cinema on April 21, Akshay backs films that send out a message. The actor says it is his way of giving back to the society.

"I feel movies are a type of communication that is consumed by majority of people not only in India but also internationally," Akshay said in a statement. "It is a way of not only reaching out to the masses but also at times educating them. I feel there is no point of being an influencer if you can't make the best use of your platform to improve the country. This is my way of giving back," he said.
