Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty is all set to play the role of the iconic character, Kabuliwala, from Rabindranath Tagore’s all-time classic “Kabuliwala”. The story is based on the father-daughter bond that forms between a young girl and a merchant in Afghanistan.

The story centres around a middle-aged Afghan man’s affection and paternal love for the small girl of a middle-class Bengali family, whose house he would occasionally visit.

 Mithun told PTI that he would not be limited by the past performances of actors who played similar roles. Instead, he would interpret the character—who has won the hearts of thousands of Bengali households for a century—in his own way.

“Yes, I will enact the role of Rehamat, who has been immortalised in Tagore’s writing, and I have already started making mental preparations. This Kabuliwala will have no similarities with the one portrayed by anybody in the past,” the legendary actor said.

Suman Ghosh, who previously collaborated with Mithun on the film, “Nobel Chor” (2011), will be directing “Kabuliwala”.
