Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, who turns 53 Tuesday, will be busy shooting for upcoming Tamil action-drama "Jilla".
"He is with us on location shooting for the film. Since we are halfway through the first schedule, he didn'twant to leave the sets. However, we threw a surprise party for him to welcome his birthday," the film's director Nesan told IANS.
Lal plays Vijay's mentor in the film, which is currently being shot in Chalakudy, Kerala. Veteran actress Poornima Bhagyaraj, who is making a comeback almost after two decades, is paired opposite Mohanlal in the film.
