Mithun
Chakraborty
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
OTT
show
Bestseller
on
Amazon
Prime
Video.
The
crime
drama
will
see
Mithun
Da
playing
a
cop
tracking
down
an
internet
troll
making
some
serious
threats
offline
as
well.
The
veteran
actor
recently
opened
up
about
the
show's
filming
process
in
Mussoorie.
Sharing
some
of
his
warmest
memories
he
said
that
thousands
of
fans
had
come
to
see
his
shoot.
He
said,
"During
one
of
the
sequences,
I
had
to
ride
on
a
cycle
rickshaw
on
the
Mall
Road
and
I
realised
that
there
were
thousands
of
fans
who
had
gathered
to
see
us
shoot."
"Even
though
we
had
some
20
security
personnel
at
hand
to
maintain
decorum,
at
one
point
I
had
to
literally
move
inside
a
restaurant
and
was
locked
inside
by
the
team
till
the
local
police
came
to
clear
up
the
crowds.
It
is
a
high
for
us
performers
to
see
so
much
love
from
the
people," he
added.
Opening
up
about
his
character
in
the
show
he
revealed
that
he
will
be
playing
Assistant
Commissioner
of
Police,
Lokesh
Pramanik.
Mithun
Chakraborty
added
that
Lokesh
is
a
"quirky
but
lovable
ACP
who
is
a
foodie
at
heart,"
and
the
audience
will
constantly
see
him
eating
or
talking
about
food.
Meanwhile,
during
an
interaction
with
Scroll.in
Mithun
Da
confessed
that
he
retains
his
Bengali
accent
even
while
speaking
Hindi.
"Learning
Hindustani
was
one
of
the
first
things
I
did
while
starting
my
career
in
Mumbai.
I
knew
that
if
I
could
not
speak
Hindi
clearly
and
convincingly,
I
wouldn't
be
accepted
as
a
national
star," he
said.
However,
"action
and
dance
have
no
language.
To
these,
I
added
my
own
style,"
he
added.
Mithun
Chakraborty
also
shared
that
he
thoroughly
enjoyed
working
in
the
beautiful
scenic
locations
for
the
show.
He
said
that
the
natural
beauty
felt
like,
"A
higher
power
was
welcoming
me
on
to
the
shoot
of
this
amazing
and
thrilling
series."
