Jayaram’s son Kalidas is gearing up to work on his first film as a hero, Oru Pakka Kathai. What was much discussed around his re-appearance in the limelight as a grown up performer on Vijay TV was his slim and trim look. The actor, who was often termed chubby, apparently decided to lose weight while at college. He said in a recent interview that its not for films that he lost weight and managed to reduce his weight from 110 kg to 70 kg.
