'Maya' is not a solo performance but a collaborative endeavor featuring a robust cast of acclaimed actors. The list includes big names like Gourab Chakrabarti, Kamaleshwar Mukherjee, Rahul Banerjee, Tanushree Chakraborty, Sudipta Chakraborty, Koneenica Banerjee, Richa Sharma, Debolina Kumar, and Ratashree Dutta, adding more flair to the cinematic narrative.
While ‘Maya’ marks Mithila’s major debut, she is poised to grace Tollywood with her versatile acting skills in several upcoming projects. Among these, 'Meghla' is a promising film directed by Arnab Middya. She is also part of an intriguing anthology film 'Nitishastra' under the creative guidance of Arunabh Khasnobis. Lastly, Mithila is all set to appear in 'O Avhagi,' a movie produced by Onirban Chakraborty.
With her debut in the Kolkata film industry and several exciting projects lined up, Mithila is surely set to captivate audiences with her stellar performances, carving out a notable space for herself in the world of Tollywood cinema.
