The actor and former Rajya Sabha member Mithun Chakraborty endured a lot of hardships when he first began working in films. Directors and producers alike made fun of his appearance and skin tone. In addition, a lot of actresses declined to collaborate with him because of his appearance, Mithun previously admitted that he used to feel uneasy around his co-stars. Actress Shabana Azmi recently made this revelation, stating that Mithun used to get quite disturbed by his uneven teeth. His mother used to give him courage in such circumstances. Mithun felt self-conscious about his appearance, yet he turned out to be a fantastic performer in his acting career.
Mithun Chakraborty’s career underwent a shift in 1979 with the release of his film Suraksha, directed by Ravikant Nagaich. This turned out to be Mithun’s first-ever blockbuster release.
In the 1980s, after lots of struggle, there came a point in Mithun Chakraborty’s career when he began to select actresses for roles. Superhit actresses were lined up to collaborate with him. Producers and directors in Bollywood and the South started to select him first. Mithun became a global hero three years after this movie came out with his successful 1982 picture Disco Dancer. Following the movie’s success, Mithun became known as a dancing star.
In the 80s, Mithun Chakraborty rose to prominence as a preferred director and producer of motion pictures following the release of Disco Dancer. Despite having a modest budget, all of his films ended up being successful hits. Mithun Chakraborty had a movie in the late eighties and early nineties that devastated him. Despite the film’s box office triumph, Mithun was going through a disastrous period in his personal life.
In 1990, a picture starring Mithun was released and received positive reviews from the public. That movie was a huge success. In the movie, Mithun played the role of Dimple Kapadia. The movie was Pyaar Ke Naam Qurbaan, directed by Babbar Subhash. In addition to Mithun-Dimple, Danny Denzongpa and Mandakini also starred in this movie.
Not many people would be aware of the fact that Dimple Kapadia wasn’t the original pick for this movie. For this movie, Sridevi was the first to sign the contract. As per IMDb, Sridevi declined to participate in this movie. Sridevi did not want to work on this movie and reunite with Mithun because she wanted to put some gap between them. She removed her name from the movie for this reason. Mithun desired to collaborate with Sridevi but was taken aback after knowing her rejection. Following Sridevi’s rejection, Dimple Kapadia joined the movie.
As per media reports, Sridevi dated Mithun before her marriage to Boney Kapoor. But all of a sudden, their paths diverged. Sridevi settled down and got married to Boney Kapoor. At this point, rumours were there about Mithun’s flop films one after another. In this kind of situation, he began to lose faith in filmmaking. Following this, in the late 1990s, he moved to Ooty and began operating hotels, somewhat setting limits himself from the film industry. He did not entirely restrict his connections to the film industry. He began the second phase of his acting career in 2005 with the release of Elaan, where he played the villain role.
