Actor
Mithun
Chakraborty
has
signed
a
horror-comedy,
which
is
scheduled
to
begin
production
by
July-August,
2019.
The
actor,
who
was
seen
on
the
screen
in
Tashkent
Files,
has
been
away
from
the
spotlight
for
a
while
reportedly
due
to
his
ongoing
treatment
for
back
pain.
He
will
next
be
seen
in
Bhootiyapa,
which
features
him
along
side
comedians
Krushna
Abhishek,
Sugandha
Mishra
and
Rajiv
Thakur.
The
film
is
directed
by
Manoj
Sharma.
"When
I
narrated
the
film
to
Mithun
da,
he
was
very
excited!
He
is
absolutely
fit
and
fine
and
told
me
he
loved
the
script.
I
am
thrilled
to
direct
him
and
I
think
it
will
be
a
fun
ride
for
all
of
us," Manoj
told
PTI.
The
director
said
Mithun
Chakraborty
will
be
in
the
role
of
a
man
who
invites
three
stand-up
comedians
for
a
private
performance
in
his
mansion.
"We
are
trying
something
new
with
the
film,
the
genre
of
horror-comedy
is
new
and
we
have
a
fantastic
story
and
the
cast
to
make
it
entertaining."
The
horror-comedy
genre
was
widely
accepted
by
the
audiences
in
2018,
all
thanks
to
Rajkummar
Rao
and
Shraddha
Kapoor
starrer
Stree.
The
movie
ended
up
being
a
superhit
at
the
box
office
and
we're
sure
the
upcoming
Mithun
Chakraborty
starrer
horror-comedy
will
end
up
being
a
hit
at
the
box
office
when
it
hit
the
theatres
too.
