Mithun Chakraborty in and as 'Don Muthuswamy'

What makes this project super-interesting is the casting of tv star Rohit Roy in the role of the gangster's conniving accountant. "This is as close as I get to an Oscar," jokes Rohit. "It's a comic role. And I'm very excited about trying my hand at comedy for the first time. Also because of the banner. I freaked out on Shakti-da's Rajesh Khanna classics like Aradhana, Amar Prem and Kati Patang." In fact a lot of Khanna's mannerisms are discernible in Roy's performances. "Yes, that must be because my mother was a big Rajesh Khanna fan. She must have watched all his films repeatedly while she was carrying me. In fact, when I was shooting with Anjoo Mahendruji she'd often tell me I reminded her of Kakajee (Anjoo and Khanna were a couple for many years). So now it feels great to be working with a banner that's done so much memorable work with Rajesh Khanna."   read more »
