With the closing ceremony of the 36th IFFI just four days away on Dec 4, speculation is rife about
who will be the guest of honour at the function to be attended, among others, by the new information
and broadcasting minister, Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi.
Two names are doing the rounds - Malayali superstar Mammootty and Bollywood's Mithun
Chakraborty. Both the actors are multiple National Award winners and, therefore, qualified to grace
the occasion.
Chances are that fans will get to see both the actors on the stage when the curtains go down on the
latest edition of IFFI.
Efforts had initially been made to invite veteran Bengali actor Soumitra Chatterjee to the closing
ceremony but he has cried off citing prior engagements.
