Mumbai, July 13 (SocialNews.XYZ) Actress Vidhatri Bandi, in an heartfelt conversation opened up about the tough times when she lost her father, just a few days before commencing with the shoot of her upcoming movie, 'Max, Min and Meowzaki.'

However, the actress credited the movie's director Padmakumar Narasimhamurthy aka Paddy and co-star Siddharth Menon for helping her navigate the difficult phase.

"But I found the rhythm soon, thanks to our director, and also Sid for just being such a giver as an actor, everything happened effortlessly after that. So, it was a struggle initially, but yeah, I somehow managed, thanks to these guys," she added.

Talking about 'Max, Min and Meowzaki', the movie is a relationship drama directed by Padmakumar Narasimhamurthy. The film stars Siddharth Menon, Vidhatri Bandi, Nafisa Ali, Nasser, Mandira Bedi, Medha Shankr in the lead.
