Gojko Mitic

Gojko Mitić is a Serbian-German actor and director. He gained great popularity in the German Democratic Republic as the leading actor in historical and fictional Indian personalities in numerous DEFA Indian films. His popularity may be recognizable from the fact that both in the GDR and later in the Federal Republic of Germany attempts were made to attach labels to him: "DEFA bosses" on the one hand, "Winnetou of the East" on the other.
