Actors are often seen in a very different light when they step away from cameras and public events. Tamil actor Vimal recently offered one such unusual moment in his hometown near Manapparai in Tiruchirappalli district. The actor, who was in the area for a film shoot, visited a newly opened weekly market at Pannankombu. Instead of simply walking around the market, he joined the local vendors and started selling vegetables. Videos of Vimal interacting with traders and customers have become a talking point on social media.
