“You’ve nailed it! This is the story of my life!" Mithun Chakraborty says yes to Nandita Roy Shiboprosad Mukherjee’s 2027 film

Mumbai, August 14, 2026: Some dreams quietly etch within us and stay with us for years, waiting for the right situation and the right moment to manifest into a beautiful reality.

For Shiboprosad Mukherjee, one such dream has finally come true, the dream of working with the legendary, Bollywood's OG disco dancer, Mithun Chakraborty.

Having grown up watching Mithun Chakraborty on screen, Shiboprosad has admired the actor across his many iconic avatars, from Mrigayaa, Do Anjaane and Agneepath to Disco Dancer and Dance Dance.

His remarkable body of work across Hindi and Bengali cinema has always excited Shiboprosad, cementing the limitless possibilities of an actor who transcends language, genre and generation.

“Everyone has certain dreams. They quietly take root in our hearts from a very young age. I had one such dream, that someday, I would get to work with Mithun Chakraborty,” says Shiboprosad.

Over the years, the two icons of Indian entertainment gradually got to know each other professionally, and forged a desire to collaborate. But, as Shiboprosad puts it, perhaps the wait was simply for the right story.

That moment arrived when he finally met Mithun Chakraborty and narrated the story to him. As soon as he finished, Mithunda shook his hand and said, “You’ve nailed it! This is the story of my life.”

For Shiboprosad, the moment carried a significance that went far beyond a professional collaboration.

“Somewhere inside, that little boy I once was was still sitting quietly, listening. To hear those words from someone I had grown up watching was an incredibly emotional moment for me,” he recalls.

Their bond had already begun to take shape even before the narration. Recalling an earlier interaction when Mithun Chakraborty was in America, Shiboprosad shares, “I had introduced myself over the phone and sent him a voice note. After listening to it, he called me back and said, ‘Shibu! Why are you giving me such a long introduction about yourself? I am ready to work!’”

Now, the wait is finally over.

In 2027, Mithun Chakraborty will headline a special Windows Production House offering, with Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy coming together for their next film with the legendary actor. The project will be among the special films marking 25 years of Windows Production House, adding another significant chapter to the banner’s milestone year.

“Today, everything has been finalised. Most importantly, Dada is doing well. Just a few more days to wait. Then, a dream I have carried for years will become a reality. Finally, we are working together, Nandita di, me, and Mithun Chakraborty.”

A dream that has been manifested since long has finally materialised not just for Shiboprosad but for all of us as Windows Production and Mithun da will collaborate for the first time.
