The Madras Regiment

Pllleeaase!! This is Malayalam actor Mohan Lal from the film 'Kurukshetra' where he is acting as an officer of the Jat Regiment! But yes, he had formally joined the Territorial Army as Lt. Colonel which is NOT the Indian Army!

So why post pictures of actors here? Couldn't you find soldiers of the Madras Regiment itself? Like this...
