Happy that senior actors are getting better roles today, Mithun says his love for acting has led him to explore OTT entertainment with Bestseller

Mithun Chakraborty
Mithun Chakraborty firmly believes it’s never too late to start something new. Which is why questions about making his digital debut at 71 amuse him. “I find it weird when I read stories that I am making my digital debut. Change is inevitable, and I am an actor who likes to adapt. An actor is dead if he is not passionate. Retire if you are not passionate; work only if you have that fire in your belly,” begins the veteran star. His unbridled passion for his craft has led him to take on Bestseller, which stars Shruti Haasan and Arjan Bajwa.
The Amazon Prime Video offering sees Chakraborty as a clever cop, who is brought in to investigate the attacks on the near and dear ones of a famous novelist, essayed by Bajwa. Chakraborty sums up his character in one word: “rangeela”. “He is unpredictable — sometimes he is comical, at other times, he will go off-track and talk about something unrelated. He is a lively character.”
