Tamil
superstar
Vijay,
who
has
teamed
up
with
Malayalam
superstar
Mohanlal
in
upcoming
film
Jilla,
has
requested
his
director
to
place
his
name
after
his
senior
co-star's
in
the
film's
title
card.
"Vijay
ensured
that
Lal
(Mohanlal)
sir's
name
appears
first
on
the
title
card
followed
by
his
name.
I
believe
he
respects
seniority
more
than
popularity,
and
therefore,
requested
me
to
not
place
his
name
first
on
the
title
card," the
film's
director
Nesan
told
IANS.
While
Vijay
recently
completed
over
two
decades
in
the
industry,
his
Malayalee
counterpart
Mohanlal
has
over
three
decades
of
rich
experience
in
filmdom.
Mohanlal,
however,
wanted
Vijay's
name
to
appear
first
on
the
title
card.
"Lal
sir
also
called
me
and
asked
me
to
place
Vijay's
name
first
on
title
card
because
he
is
a
superstar
in
Tamil
cinema
and
the
film
also
happens
to
be
in
the
same
language.
But
Vijay
sir
was
headstrong
that
we
don't
have
his
name
first
on
the
screen,"
he
said.
"Finally,
we
have
decided
to
place
Mohanlal
sir's
name
first
on
the
title
card,"
Nesan
added.
Also
featuring

Raghavendra,
