Veteran Malayalam superstar Mammootty plans to celebrate his 56th birthday on Monday in a quiet way and says he has made no resolutions for the occasion either.
Speaking to IANS over telephone from Chennai, the actor said he prefers to have a quiet birthday.
"I have no birthday resolutions either. I am waiting for my son to arrive from Kochi and my daughter who is in Bangalore is not coming," said Mammootty.
Since his birthday falls during Ramzan this year, the actor, a devout Muslim, plans to remain indoors.
"Today I am taking the day off and tomorrow I am going to Palani (a temple town in Tamil Nadu) for the shooting of Chattambinadu," said the veteran.
Asked if he was expecting to get a national award, with the 55th National Film Awards to be announced later on Monday, Mammootty laughed.
"See, a few days before the awards are announced speculations are aired. I think I have overcome such moments and I only concentrate on what I have undertaken, and such things no longer bother me," said the three-time national award winner.
In a career spanning close to three decades, he has acted in more than 300 Malayalam films besides Hindi, Telegu, Tamil and English.
