Here’s Lt Col Mohanlal!

Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has been has been commissioned in the Territorial Army (TA), a citizen���s force of the Indian army.
After cricketer Kapil Dev, he is the first actor to be conferred with this title. The age limit for joining the TA, which has been fixed at 42, has been relaxed for the star who is 48.
There is precedence for this as Kapil Dev was also over the age limit when he was commissioned by TA.It was writer and director Major Ravi who created the Major Mahadevan character for the actor in Keerthi Chakra and its sequel Kurukshetra, two super hits. Since then, the actor has taken a fascination for the Indian Army. Apparently, he wanted to join the army after college.
Says Mohanlal, ���When I was in school, I used to go to the Pangode army camp, a stone���s throw away from where I was staying in Mudavanmugal in Poojapura, just to watch the army parade.��� Now Lt Col Mohanlal is going to visit forward areas and meet the army men!
