Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty got discharged from hospital on Monday afternoon, with the BJP leader asserting that he was "absolutely fine" and would soon resume shooting for upcoming films.

Mithun Chakraborty, 73, was admitted to a private hospital here on February 10, after he complained of severe chest pain.

He underwent a series of clinical tests, including an MRI, a senior official of the medical facility said.

Earlier in the day, senior doctors and therapists had reviewed his health condition.

Mithun Chakraborty also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had telephoned him on Sunday, and that he "got a scolding for not taking care of his health".

BJP MP Dilip Ghosh, too, had met him in hospital in the morning.
