Naman also searched Wikipedia and found that a fact about the actor's early life was wrong. His mother had died when he was nine years old and not five as the online encyclopedia claimed.[3] Ramachandran watched each of his films twice and was spending so much time on his research work that his wife said that she had "lost [him] to Rajinikanth" for those two years.[3] Rama
