I'm a very irritating actor: Mithun Chakraborty
Wednesday, 10 June 2009
He's been in showbiz for nearly three decades and has bagged three national awards, but multilingual star Mithun Chakraborty has no qualms confessing that he is an 'irritating actor'.
"I'm a very irritating actor. I keep on asking too many questions till I am satisfied with the answers. I have to be very clear-cut. If a director is not familiar with my working style, he is sure to go mad," Mithun, who is currently doing a children's comedy, report wire services.
"When you play a certain character then you have to be in it and I can't move forward until I know where the character is going in a film. There has to be uniformity throughout the film," said the 58-year-old, who won his first national award for his debut film "Mrigaya".
Mithun was to promote his forthcoming venture "Zor Lagaa Ke...Haiya", where he plays a national-award winning sculptor who lives as a vagabond.
He says getting make-up for his character was the most difficult part.
"It was an absolute torture for me. I sport only one robe in the film and a wig and a bushy beard which weighs around 1.5 kg and was put through a lot of gum. I could eat only after 14 hours of shooting. I was allowed to drink water with only a straw, which was very irritating," he said.
