Mithun was recently conferred upon the Padma Bhushan, which is the third-highest civilian award in the Republic of India.

Expressing his joy on being awarded the Padma Bhushan, Mithun had said in Bengali, “I am proud, I am happy to have received this award. I would like to thank everyone. I have never asked anything for myself from anyone. I am experiencing the feeling of receiving something without asking today. It’s a different feeling altogether. It’s a great feeling.”

Mithun was last seen in the Bengali film  'Kabuliwala’ in December 2023. Speaking about the movie, Mithun had said, “Kabuliwala is not just any film that I thought of doing casually. Although it's a Bengali film, it's important to remember that it's about an Afghan speaking Bengali, not a Bengali-speaking Afghan. Nowadays, everyone observes everything very minutely, so this was a big deal. The film shows how an Afghan learns Bengali and speaks it with a mix of Hindi and Bengali.”
