Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, recently honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, received a commendation from Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Mohanlal, who holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army, called it an "honour" to be recognised by the Army Chief and described the commendation as a "great gesture" from a fraternity he has proudly served for the past 16 years.

Speaking to the media after the event, the actor said he has been doing all that he can for the Army and for the betterment of civilians.

He said that he and the Army Chief also discussed "how to bring more efficiency to the Territorial Army battalions and what can be done for the country. So, it was a small discussion. We have bigger plans to come," he said.
