There was a time in Vidya's life that the producers used to think of her as 'bad luck'. Some producers even did not allow the release of the film just because Vidya was acting in the film.
At the beginning of her career, Vidya decided to try her luck in southern cinema. She also got an opportunity in the film 'Chakram' with famous south actor Mohanlal. After this film, she signed as many as 12 films. But for some reason, the shooting of 'Chakram' was delayed.
Mohanlal has acted in many films in South. No film was delayed in his career. The 'chakram' was delayed and all its khabar was smashed on Vidya's head. The producers decided Vidya's destiny.
The makers completed the film with another actor. After this film, Vidya signed 12 films.
