Finally I got it working.
As I had said, there were no System.out in my web apps code. They are log4j
statements with proper syntax. Just that no log4j configuration is done for
each web app. Because of this, tomcat was directing log messages to stdout
which was further getting written to catalina.out.
Now, I wrote a simple java program, which will redirect stdout & stderr to a
print stream which is directed by log4j to a rotating file appender.
Thus the problem is solved.
Thanks for your help.

You're missing the point. If you configure log4j properly AND your webapps
do not make direct use of System.out and System.err, there will never be
anything written to catalina.out. You need to fix your log4j config so it
doesn't use System.out but rather a specific file appender that will rotate
based on size. You'll need to look at the log4j documentation to figure out
how to do that - this has nothing to do with Tomcat.
