Mithun snubbed by Kolkata Fest, heads to Moscow
16 Aug
Summary
- Mithun Chakraborty was not invited to the Kolkata Film Festival this year.
- He will attend the Moscow Film Festival, which extended him an invitation.
- Mithun will make a cameo in Rajinikanth's upcoming film, Jailer 2.
Mithun Chakraborty has voiced his surprise and disappointment over not being invited to the current Kolkata Film Festival. While speaking to the media, he noted the contrast between this local oversight and an invitation he received for the Moscow Film Festival. Chakraborty humorously suggested that his limited involvement in Bengali cinema might be the reason behind his exclusion from the Kolkata event.
These comments were made during his visit to Kolkata for events commemorating the birth centenary of Uttam Kumar, a celebrated icon of Bengali cinema. Uttam Kumar, born Arun Kumar Chatterjee in 1926, had a prolific career spanning Bengali and Hindi films, and was the first recipient of the National Film Award for Best Actor in 1967.
Looking ahead, Mithun Chakraborty is slated to appear in a cameo role in the upcoming Rajinikanth-starrer, Jailer 2. The film is anticipated to be released in 2027, marking another significant project for the actor.
