Mithun Chakraborty has been entertaining for over four decades and the actor claims that he never had fallen ill on the sets of his movies in his lifetime. However, during the shooting of his upcoming drama, The Kashmir Files, Mithun Chakraborty collapsed during filming due to a terrible bout of food poisoning and the shooting was immediately halted.
Mithun Chakraborty is currently shooting with filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri for The Kashmir Files which stars Anupam Kher in the pivotal role. During the filming of an action sequence around the character of Mithun Chakraborty, the actor complained of feeling sick and his condition worsened in no time. The shooting was immediately called off but Mithun insisted on finishing the shoot. Director Vivek Agnihotri states, “No normal person can stand or still in that condition but he went out for sometime and came back and finished the entire shoot. In no time, it was so bad I couldn’t imagine anybody shooting in such a condition. But, he went ahead and gave the shot.”
“Mithun Da is the most focused hardworking and professional actor and that’s why he is a superstar. Not only that when we came back for the shoot in the morning, he charged everybody with his energy and made sure that everyone is working at a fast speed. Because of that, we could cover the backlog which we had. Actors like Mithun Chakraborty are assets to any unit, any crew and any film,” the filmmaker added.
Featuring Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, and Puneet Issar, The Kashmir Files focuses on the lives of Kashmiri Pandit refugees during their exodus in the 1990s. Helmed by Vivek Agnihotri, the thriller-drama is slated for a release in 2021.
