Watching Mani, Madhavan and Mithunda
Bishwanath Ghosh observes Mani Ratnam & Co. during the shooting of Guru and throws some light on the working style of the director.
But Madhavan had no such respite. Mani, after shouting “Cut!� each time, would walk up to him and ask him to put more emotion in his dialogue-delivery. Not that what Madhavan was doing was anything wrong, but Mani wanted perfection. He would make Madhavan rehearse his lines like a schoolboy after every take. But not once did the director have any communication with Mithun Chakraborty. Mithunda, after all, is no ordinary actor. The masses might know him as the Disco Dancer, but few know that he has won the National Award thrice, including for his debut film – Mrinal Sen’s Mrigyaa. And he hopes to get the fourth for Buddhadeb Dasgupta’s Kaalpurush.

Mithunda is a genius, does not need acting tips. I wish from the bottom of my heart that Mithunda’s gets the 4th National Award for Kaalpurush. Kudos to Mithunda!!

Mithun da is simply genius…I have seen almost 80% of his films….His comeback films are all great…Might not have hit the jackpot but if he continues this way he is surely to hit the bulls eye. I will always remain a Mithun da die hard fan..Long live Mithun da…
