Mammootty has many reasons to celebrate his 63rd birthday Sunday. First, it coincides with Thiru Onam. Second, his films are doing a brisk business after a long time. And last but not the least - the Malayalam superstar has finally launched his charity project.

The actor who has acted in more than 350 films welcomed his birthday Saturday at a function in Kochi by launching Vision 2020 - a programme that aims to make Kerala a cataract-free state.
