The three-time National Award winner will receive the award on October 8 at the 70th National Film Awards ceremony. The former Trinamool Rajya Sabha was awarded the Padma Bhushan earlier this year. Mithun said, "I come from the bylanes of Kolkata; I have risen from footpaths. A boy from such a place winning such an honour...I could not have imagined this. I am extremely happy. I dedicate this to my family and my fans across the world."
