When Mithun Chakraborty Had 65 Films On The Floor At One Time

MUMBAI- Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty has revealed that he had a remarkable 65 films on the floor at one point in time.

When asked how many films he was doing annually back in the 80s and 90s, he replied, “You would be shocked to know that we had 65 films at a time on the floor. I hold a Limca Book of World Records for having 19 films released in one year, so you can imagine the workload. I am 380 films old.”

Responding to a question on what motivates him to keep working on so many films in an era where most actors do fewer projects annually, the actor said: “I don’t know how people do just one film, they say they read – but what after that- how many times can you read the script- you come to understand the entire movie in one line.” He added that he and his contemporaries would decide on a film after reading just a single line.

“Now, I only do films that charge me- like I am doing with Prabhas, ‘Fauji’- it’s a patriotic kind of family drama, and ‘Jailer 2’ with Rajini (Rajinikanth) is another kind of film, ‘Prajapati 2’ is another kind of film, so for me all this is easy,” Mithun added. (IANS)
