Mithun Chakraborty and Mamata Shankar reunite for a Bengali film after 46 years – Times of India

After the huge success of Tonic, which again featured Dev and veteran actor Paran Bandopadhyay in lead, it will be interesting to see how Abhijit executes the script of ‘Prajapoti’.

Mithun Chakraborty has already said that one of the main reasons he is doing this film is because of his affection for Dev. The veteran actor now only agrees to be part of the films whose stories touch his heart and he believes the story of ‘Prajapoti’ will attract cine lovers.

Sharing his thoughts on working with Mamata Shankar after so many years Mithun revealed that he doesn’t have any idea why any filmmaker didn’t think of casting them together in all these years. But he feels now the time has arrived and there’s always a right time for telling every story.

An excited Mamata Shankar, too, shared that she is feeling a bit nervous ahead of the shoot. Although she didn’t reveal any details about her character in the film the veteran actress said that she will have an important contribution to the father and son’s bonding. Mamata Shankar further added that she actually feels the adrenaline rush of a first-timer again.

If all goes according to plan ‘Prajapoti’ will hit the shooting floors on July 5.
