‘Main bahot chhota artist hoon’: Mithun Chakraborty reacts to not getting KIFF invite
Mithun Chakraborty expressed disappointment over not being invited to the Kolkata International Film Festival.
Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty expressed disappointment over his omission from the Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) during a meeting with Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari. While discussing the event with reporters on August 13, Chakraborty sarcastically remarked, "I’m a very small artist, you see, so they don’t invite me."
The actor, known for his significant contributions to Bengali cinema, was notably among several high-profile figures present at the Nandan meeting. Despite his longstanding ties to Indian film culture, Chakraborty felt slighted by the festival's organizers, who had invited other high-profile names. His remarks have sparked debate among netizens, with some criticizing the festival for its perceived lack of inclusivity and others attributing the snub to the current political climate.
