Kolkata:TMC MLA Madan Mitra, known for his quirky comments and colourful outfits, has given his nod for a biopic, which would trace his four-decade-long political career that started as a close aide of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Director Raja Chanda, who has several box office hits to his credit, would be making the film on Mitra.
Mitra, who became a social media darling over the last couple of years for his eccentric and often controversial Facebook lives, said on Tuesday that the shooting for the film would begin in two months.
"Madan Mitra's life is an open book. It has colours, it has light and shades. Have told director Raja Chanda that the script should not hide anything but rather bring out my entire personality -- warts and all," he said.
Mitra, who was in jail for months in the Saradha chit fund scam case, said that episode would also be a part of the film.
The prudent trade unionist said all aspects of his political life that began with student politics alongside Mamata Banerjee to the movement against land acquisition during the Left rule will be a part of the film.
