Now, a biopic on TMC's 'colorful' Madan Mitra
What's the story
TMC MLA Madan Mitra, known for his quirky comments and colorful outfits, has given his nod for a biopic, which would trace his four-decade-long political career that started as a close aide of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Director Raja Chanda, who has several box office hits to his credit, would be making the film on Mitra.
Shooting
Shooting for the film will begin in two months: Mitra
Mitra, who became a social media darling over the last couple of years for his eccentric and often controversial Facebook lives, said on Tuesday that the shooting for the film would begin in two months. "Madan Mitra's life is an open book. It has colors, it has light and shades," he said.
Information
Told director that the script should not hide anything: Mitra
"Have told the director that the script should not hide anything but rather bring out my entire personality," he said. Mitra, who was in jail for months in the Saradha chit fund scam case, said that episode would also be a part of the film.
Script
Script will refer to my wife and female friends: Mitra
The prudent trade unionist said all aspects of his political life that began with student politics alongside Mamata Banerjee to the movement against land acquisition during the Left rule will be a part of the film. "Of course the script will refer to my biggest strength, my wife, but my other female friends will also not be left out," said Mitra
Challenge
Hope the biopic will be liked by everyone: Director
Mitra said director Chanda has been approaching him for the biopic for the past two years. "I am happy. It is a challenge to portray a multidimensional personality like Madan Mitra on the big screen. I hope it will be liked by everyone," the director said. Chanda has directed Bengali hits such as Rangbaz and Challenge 2.
