Bollywood icon Mithun Chakraborty has been selected to receive the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award for 2024, as announced by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on X (formerly Twitter). Vaishnaw expressed his honor in revealing the decision made by the Dadasaheb Phalke Selection Jury, highlighting Chakraborty's significant contributions to Indian cinema. The award will be presented during the 70th National Film Awards ceremony on October 8, 2024.

Earlier this year, Chakraborty was also honored with the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian award, recognizing his extensive impact on the film industry.
