Actor-cinematographer Shaman Mithru passes away

In an interview with the Times of India, Shaman Mithru had confessed that he became an actor by chance. “Thorati is a film that delves into the lives of shepherds who walk miles in search of pasture for their goats and sheep. This story happens in a village. And the lead actor who plays a shepherd needed to look like one. Not many actors would be willing to take the risks involved in getting tanned, losing tons of weight and walking barefoot. So, I decided to take the plunge and do the role myself,” he had said while promoting the film.

Shaman Mithru is survived by his wife and five-year-old daughter.
