Actor Mithun Chakraborty has been shooting for Vivek Agnihotri directorial The Kashmir Files in Mussoorie since November. The shoot for his upcoming film was abruptly halted on Saturday after the 70-year-old actor reportedly complained of ‘ill-health’. 

A recent Mid-Day report suggests that the veteran actor collapsed while filming an outdoor scene. Being worried for his leading man’s health, Director Vivek Agnihotri wanted to call-off the shoot, however, Chakraborty insisted on wrapping up the sequence.

Recalling the recent setback, Agnihotri said, "It was an action scene, mounted on a big scale, and everything was centered on Mithun sir's character. He had a terrible bout of food poisoning and was unable to even stand. After taking a brief break, he finished the sequence."

He also added that such instances are telling of an actor's work ethic and mentioned that in his four-decade-plus career, he has never fallen ill on set. Praising the Disco Dancer actor Agnihotri said that it was evident that all he (Mithun Chakraborty) kept thinking was that the shoot should not be halted.

The Mid-Day report also mentioned that the scene was canceled for Chakraborty to take adequate rest. 

"When he returned to the set on Sunday morning, he ensured that he made up for the backlog," added the director. 

For the uninitiated, the film also features Anupam Kher and Puneet Issar in key roles.
