Mithun in Aditya Datt's 'Dil Diya Hai'
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,January 26 2006]
Aditya Datt, whose directorial debut "Aashiq Banaya Aapne" fared well at the box office last year, has roped in Mithun Chakraborty for his next film "Dil Diya Hai".
"I have been a great fan of Mithun-da since my childhood and I am thrilled to get a chance to direct him. Mithun-da plays a key role in my film and the character is best suited for him," said the director.
Mithun was seen in "Lucky - No Time For Love" and "Elaan" in 2005 and this year he is going to appear in Kalpana Lajmi's film "Chingaari" with Sushmita Sen.
Datt also repeats his 'lucky' hero Emraan Hashmi along with Ashmit Patel in the film.
"After the success of 'Murder' no one has signed them. Since both of them have done roles with grey shades, I thought they would be the right choice for my film," says Datt.
The film's first schedule is already being shot in Mumbai and the team is going to Scotland to shoot the second part.
Datt is introducing a new girl, Geeta, in the film.
