Vidya posted the photo with an interesting anecdote which read as "TBT 2000... The pic was taken on the set of my first Malayalam film #Chakram with @mohanlal!!! The film got shelved after the first schedule... Not looking as bad as I imagined I did!!!"

Check out the photo below:

Earlier while talking about the film, Vidya had opened up about Chakram being shelved and how she was given the tag of a 'jinxed person'. She had said, "I think when I first did my feature film with Mohanlal in Malayalam, I got 7-8 film offers after my first schedule. The only problem was that the film got shelved after the first schedule. So not only did the film get shelved, but I was also replaced in all other films. I was labelled jinxed after that."

She also said, "It is ridiculous. I don’t believe in it. I am not a superstitious person. I don’t think any success or failure can be attributed to anyone else. You know, sometimes things don’t work out. I was heartbroken when I was replaced in all those films. I was thrown out of a huge Tamil film at the time."
