Mithun Chakraborty is currently shooting in Mussoorie for director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri's upcoming film The Kashmir Files. According to reports, on Saturday, his health had suddenly deteriorated on the sets, due to which the shooting of the film had to be stopped.
Going by the reports of Bollywood Hungama, Mithun collapsed on the set due to a terrible bout of food poisoning, and the shoot was called off for a day.
Vivek said, "We were shooting for a big action sequence. Everything was centered around Mithun Chakraborty's character but suddenly he suffered from a bout of infection and it was very bad. No normal person can stand or still in that condition but he went out for sometime and came back and finished the entire shoot. In no time, it was so bad I couldn’t imagine anybody shooting in such a condition. But, he went ahead and gave the shot. That is the reason why he has been a superstar. He told me in the last so many years he hasn't fallen sick. He was constantly asking me, “your shooting is not getting halted right?”. I am really, really surprised because I haven't seen anyone in the new generation working so dedicatedly."

The filmmaker believes The Kashmir Files is a small step towards letting the world, especially his countrymen, know about the plight of Kashmiri Hindus.
