Sweet on top of that record yet

Bollywood ‘Shahenshah’ superstar Amitabh Bachchan had a fatal accident while filming the 1983 movie ‘Coolie’. He had to be hospitalized. As soon as he received the news, thousands of fans gathered outside the hospital in search of the actor’s recovery.

In addition to Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, or Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, wherever they go, fans gather to check them out. Sometimes he would come home and attack. This is star fame.

But the record for Bollywood’s greatest star fame is held by Bengali hero Mithun Chakraborty. No actor in Bollywood has been able to break the stellar fame record set by this hero who has acted in Bengali and Hindi films. There is no chance that someone can do it.

Mithun Chakraborty made her Bollywood debut in 1986 with Mrinal Sen’s ‘Mrigaya’. Bajimat did in the first movie. “Hunting” made great business. He also won the National Mithun Award for Best New Actor.

But that does not mean that this photo has taken him to the top of success. Then, in some movies, he got very small jobs. Mithun did not look down on any work. So he also worked as a spot boy on the set. Furthermore, his performance was also happening. His 197 film Mera Rakshak was also a great success.

In addition to acting, Mithun had another quality. He was also very good at dancing. The 1982 film ‘Disco Dancer’ was the ladder that brought Mithun to the top of stardom. As a ‘disco dancer’, she became very popular outside India, especially in Russia and Kazakhstan.

The stage in which he achieved Mithun fame at that time can be understood with a short story. The actor went to Kazakhstan to attend an event after the release of ‘Disco Dancer’. The news that Mithun is going to Kazakhstan had already reached the people there. Millions of people gathered outside the airport just to catch a glimpse of Mithun!

The hero never imagined that Kazakhstan would give him so much love. As soon as they set foot outside the airport, a lot of people started yelling ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ together. Because, ‘Disco Dancer’- Mithun’s character name was Jimmy.

Interestingly, there was also a ceremony for the then President of Kazakhstan the same day. But so many people left the airport for Mithun that the president had to cancel his ceremony. Hindi movies are still very popular in the country. Even today the people there like Mithun more than Shah Rukh-Amir-Salman.

This hero not only holds the record for stellar fame, but also holds the record for acting in most movies in a year. In 1989, 19 photos of Mithun were posted together. In each case, they have taken advantage of it, despite the obstacles we can hardly imagine. “Mithun’s record has not yet been broken by any other Bollywood star.
