In the cast of Ilayathalapathy's upcoming flick 'Jilla', it has been reiterated time and again that Mohanlal plays a crucial role in the film. The latest on this is that he plays the role of a Godfather. The word 'Jilla' roughly translates to 'head of the gang', and in 'Jilla', Mohanlal is said to play a respectable head in Madurai, while Vijay is his successor. For this Madurai-based film, a huge set is being erected in Chennai, to resemble a typical Madurai-style house.
