A plan was made several years ago that did not materialize. Mithun and Mani Ratnam had decided to work in a Tamil film Anandam. But that was several years ago.
The plan did not materialize because Mani wanted Mithun to chop his hair short. Mithun then was working on 15 other projects that wanted his hair to be long. So the plans remained plans. Now they have once again teamed up for Mani's next film Guru.
Mithun will be shooting for the film from 15th May to 15th June. This film co incidentally requires Mithun to have short hair for which he is completing all his other films before 15th May.
He plays a socialist in the film. It is a positive character. The film is set in the 1960's. The film has Abhishek and Aishwarya in the lead.
