Three times National award winning actor Mithun Chakraborty laments that very few producers and directors make art films these days."I act in potboilers both in Bollywood and Tollywood as very few producers and directors make art film like Mrigaya, which gave me my first National actor award," said Chakraborty at the premier of his latest Bengali film Shukno Lanka last night.Chakraborty, who shot to fame in Bollywood in 1980s with the blockbuster Disco Dancer, said, "If I get offers from producers and directors to act in art films like Mrigaya, I will certainly take them up. But such offers are few these days."About Shukno Lanka, he said, "Shukno Lanka has given me the rare opportunity to retrace my struggling days. It has taken me back closer to my roots."Chakraborty described the director of Shukno Lanka Gaurav Pandey as 'brilliant' and said, "I am happy that I am also in his next Hindi film Spaghetti 24x7." Chakraborty plays the role of a security guard in Spaghetti 24x7, which also stars his elder son Mimoh and is slated for release in October this year.Speaking about Shukno Lanka, Director Gaurav Pandey said he had a wonderful time in making it especially working with Chakraborty.Chakraborty plays the role of Chinu Nandy, a junior artiste in the film, but he had to arrive at the shoot with police escort due to his huge fan following in Bengal, he said.Recollecting another instance while making the film, Pandey said late actor Kunal Mitra, one of the cast, refused to shoot a scene with Mithun massaging his feet.Pandey's first full-length Hindi film Stumped was released in 2003 featuring Raveena Tandon, Aly Khan and Salman Khan in lead roles. Subsequently he worked as the writer of Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's Anuranan.
