KOLKATA, INDIA (GaeaTimes.com)- One of the most prolific actors of Bollywood Mithun Chakraborty is keen to act in a movie like “Mrigaya” once again. Although he made his mark in Bollywood with his superb acting skills and his dance steps, it was “Mrigaya”; a Bengali movie which gave him his platform. Mithun Chakraborty has often lamented how art house audiences have disappeared and the directors and producers in the industry are to be blamed.

The movie is slotted for an October release this year.

Mithun Chakraborty who has already won three national awards has a huge fan-following in Bengal. He was escorted by the police when he arrived at the shooting location for “Shukno Lanka”.
