When Mimoh revealed father Mithun Chakraborty didn't help with his film debut: ‘He didn't make me feel like a star kid'
Mimoh Chakraborty, son of veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty, didn't enjoy the same smooth entry into the film industry as his father once did. His 2008 debut film Jimmy was both a critical and commercial failure. Yet, those familiar with Bollywood in the late 2000s will vividly remember the buzz surrounding his launch. In an old interview with Lehren Retro, given during the promotions of Jimmy, Mimoh opened up about his entry into films, and how his legendary father took a hands-off approach to his acting career. Mimoh said, 'Mithun Chakraborty, as a father, was always there for me, always helped me. He taught me how to walk, how to talk. Even as a father, he taught me how to dance and act. But purely as an actor, Mithun Chakraborty never helped me. Because he is very professional and practical, he never came to my film set. Even if he would have come for some time, he would never meet me, just meet the director and leave. He wanted me to be the judge of myself and learn from my mistakes, just like every actor does—just like he did when he began. He didn't make me feel like a star kid; he wanted me to feel like a newcomer. As a father, he taught me a lot, especially improved my dancing, and whatever he taught has helped me a lot while making Jimmy.'

His next two films went unreleased, and the only notable box office success he found was with Haunted – 3D. More recently, he appeared in Jogira Sara Ra Ra alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Neha Sharma, but the film also failed to make an impact commercially.

The 1980s were not an easy decade for Bollywood. Veterans like Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna were looking for new avenues for their careers, while stars like Dharmendra and Rajesh Khanna were losing their old sheen. The influence of remakes of South Indian films was increasing and producers were citing video cassettes and piracy as an excuse for their failure. At such a time, there was one actor who won the hearts of the audience with his dance and acting. In 1976, Mrinal Sen's film 'Mrigaya' was released. Mithun Chakravarty, who started his career with this, received the National Award for the Best Actor category, but this award failed to get him work immediately. He had also said during an interview that he was disappointed with this. Mithun Chakraborty's got fame after… His journey to ' Disco Dancer ' was not easy. Mithun showed his passion for dance in the early days. He used to work as a backup dancer in the beginning of his career. His dancing skills impressed Helen so much that he was given a chance to perform a 30-minute solo, which mesmerised the audience.
