Mithun Chakraborty<\/a> has been selected for this year’s Dadasaheb Phalke Award<\/a>, India’s highest film honour by the government. The legendary actor will receive the award on October 8 at the National Film Awards<\/a> ceremony. The veteran star’s son, actor Namashi Chakraborty, shared his immediate reaction to the happy news with NDTV. Expressing his joy, Namashi said, \u201cWe all are very very overwhelmed. We are feeling extremely proud and elated. And I genuinely feel that my father is truly a legend. This is a long-due award for my father. But I am so so happy that he has been finally honoured with what he actually truly deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talking about how Mithun Chakraborty has fans worldwide, Namashi Chakraborty<\/a> said, \u201cI am in Los Angeles. I am shooting. Just to give you an anecdote of what a famous man Mithun is, my father is – Do you know in LA, there are a lot of Armenian and Russian people? The population of Los Angeles has a lot of Armenian crowd. Whenever I ever sit on an Uber and if they ask me which country I belong from and I say India. The first thing they say is, \u2018My favourite actor is Mithun Chakraborty.’ And this has been happening ever since I got into LA. So, his stardom is not just in India but worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about his favourite Mithun Chakraborty films, Namashi responded, \u201cWell, I think he has done more than 375 films till date. I can proudly tell you that I have seen all of his released films till date. My personal favourites would obviously be\u00a0Mrigayaa, Tahader Katha, (Swami) Vivekananda<\/em>\u00a0and of course the commercial blockbusters like\u00a0Disco Dancer, Agneepath<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and many more. Most recently, if you look at films like\u00a0Guru,\u00a0The Kashmir Files,<\/em> to name a few, I think all these films have been very very iconic. And most recently the movies like\u00a0Kabuliwala<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Projapati,<\/em> these would be my favourite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Namashi Chakraborty also spoke about how his father is extremely emotional after he got to know that he will be conferred the Dadasaheb Phalke Award<\/a>. Reflecting on the legend’s \u201crags to riches\u201d story, Namashi mentioned, \u201cWell, I totally get his feeling. We should always remember that my father is a self-made man. He was not born with a silver spoon. He has become the star, the icon, the legend that he is, totally on his merit and dedication. My father’s success is actually an inspiration not just in India, but anyone out there, who has dreams in their eyes. My father is the definition of how rags to riches stories come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recalling the struggling phase of Mithun Chakraborty, Namashi Chakraborty said, \u201cI have seen my father being a star all his life. But of course, when you talk about his career. He came in 1976, he won the National Award. But then he struggled very very much for 2-3 years. He landed his first leading role in\u00a0Suraksha<\/em>\u00a0and then how he slowly and steadily became a star and then after\u00a0Disco Dancer<\/em>,\u00a0he became a superstar. After that, he won two more national awards. He won Best Actor again in 1993, then he won Best Supporting Actor in 1996. He has also won 4 Filmfare Awards and in the last 2 years, he has won consecutively. So yes, there was a low, of course, in the mid \u201890s. We all moved to Ooty and there was a shift in placement. He was doing a couple of films, but then he came back with Mani Ratnam’s film Guru<\/em>. And, ever since then, he has been making films continuously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Namashi Chakraborty also mentioned how his father is \u201cthe first dancing star of India.\u201d Recounting the shooting of his first film\u00a0Bad Boy,<\/em>\u00a0Namashi said, \u201cThe biggest moment for me as an actor was that when I got to dance with my dad in my debut film\u00a0Bad Boy. We shared a song in the film. He did a cameo appearance with me and we also shared moves together. For me, that was like a dream come true because I also have been a fan of him, the actor, the star that he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHis dance influence is unparalleled. He was undoubtedly the first dancing star of India, who, believe it or not, till date, has received so much love. Like I mentioned, people who are Indians, could still understand his fanaticism. The madness, the frenzy, that he even has today, when I visited Russia for my shooting, and now that I am in LA. It is unbelievable how much people love him, even after all these years. And not just Indian people, but people across the world,\u201d Namashi added.<\/p>\n

Mithun Chakraborty has given Indian cinema many hits, including\u00a0Agneepath,\u00a0Mujhe Insaaf Chahiye,\u00a0Hum Se Hai Zamana,\u00a0Pasand Apni Apni,\u00a0Ghar Ek Mandir<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki.<\/em><\/p>\n
