The actor's birthday comes barely a week after his partner of 13 years, Gautami Tadmimalla, had announced separating from him without specifying any reason.
A close associate of the actor said that no birthday celebrations were being conducted by the fans of the "Vishwaroopam" star.
Shruti Haasan, the actor's daughter who also shares screen space with him in the trilingual "Sabash Naidu" was among those who greeted him.
Earlier, Haasan had asked his 'welfare clubs,' as he defines them, to stay away from any celebrations, keeping in mind Jayalalithaa's health.
The CM is in hospital since September 22 after she complained of fever and dehydration.
