• The actor has spent the lockdown period at her home in Chennai. Her father, Mohan Raman, who has been roped in by Mani Ratnam for his magnum opus, Ponniyin Selvan , has been growing a beard ever since he signed on. Vidyullekha adds that he looks “distinguished and wise” in this appearance but she would love for him to get rid of the beard when possible. “I was telling him that I have forgotten how his face looked like without the beard,” she laughs, adding, “He cannot do anything since the production team wants the beard to grow longer. Hopefully, by the end of 2020, he will get to trim it a bit.”
