Veteran actor and Bollywood's dancing star Mithun Chakraborty is all set to act in his first straight Tamil-Telugu bilingual. He will be seen playing a crucial role in Aadhi's Yagavarayinum Naa Kaakka, directed by Adhi's brother Sathya Prabhas.
Aadhi confirms the news,"Mithunji has a very important role and we are glad he's in on the project. This bilingual is a home production and we are yet to finalize the title for the Telugu version. The film will mark my brother Sathya's debut."Sathya says that the script and the character convinced Mithuda to be part of the project. He adds, "When I approached him, he initially told me he has a busy schedule in Bollywood and other regional industries in the north and that he wasn't keen on doing a south film. I asked him for 10 minutes of his time and started narrating the script. He was hooked and listened to my narration for one-and-a-half hour. He was involved in the story and asked several questions. He then told me he was doing the project, and that he was not even going to discuss money. This is my debut film, and having an actor of Mithunji's calibre onboard is a big boost for us."
We hear Mithun has started shooting for his role. "He doesn't know the language, but he delivered a oneminute-45-second dialogue in the first take with tears in his eyes! That's the level of commitment he has," Sathya adds.
