When Mithun Chakraborty became the hero of B-grade films, this heroine was stunned to see the stardom of 'Disco Dancer'!

News Topical, Digital Desk : Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty is one of those actors who has both performed action films brilliantly on screen and won hearts with his serious roles. Mithun Chakraborty has a strong fan following. He has also acted in many powerful films, but there was a time when he also worked in somewhat different, lower-budget films. This was a time when Mithun was working in films outside the Bollywood league. This led to him being called a B-grade actor, and those films were also considered similar. Meanwhile, a veteran Bollywood actress began to consider Mithun a B-grade actor. What is the full story? Let's find out...

When Mithun's career went downhill,
it was 1976, and it was in this year that Mithun Chakraborty entered Bollywood. Mithun made his Bollywood debut with the film Mrigayaa. Within a few years, he became one of the most popular actors in the Hindi film industry. Mithun Da worked in many blockbuster films. Then came the 90s, when Mithun's career in Bollywood was not going well. Meanwhile, Mithun moved to Ooty.

Mithun owned a hotel and resort here. During this time, Mithun left Mumbai and settled in Ooty. It was there that he started his own hotel business. Along with his business, Mithun also decided that any films he would make would be shot here. During this time, Mithun signed several films back to back. Although these films were budget-conscious, they were shot at Mithun's resort, with Mithun's permission.

Mithun's son revealed the secret:
Mithun acted in over 100 films, and as a result, he became considered a B-grade actor. Mithun's son himself spoke about this in an interview. Namashi explained,

During the 1990s, Papa's career was on the decline. He started doing low-budget action films in Ooty. He did nearly 100 films there, and the media labeled him a B-grade actor. His films were discredited in every way. But the truth is, no one claimed he did 100 films while living in Ooty; they simply tarnished his image by claiming he had become a B-grade hero. While living in Ooty, he created his own industry, but the media turned against him, even though these films were well-received.

Many of Mithun's films like 'Watan Ke Rakhwale', 'Swarg Se Sundar', 'Jaal', 'Pyar Jhukta Nahi', 'Pyar Ka Mandir', 'Agneepath', 'Pyar Ke Do Pal', 'Waqt Ki Awaaz', 'Prem Pratigya' have been shot in Ooty.

Tina Munim mistook Mithun for a B-grade hero.
While Mithun was working in the industry, he also acted in various films. He often acted in low-budget films as an action hero. When actress Tina Munim was offered a film with Mithun, she assumed he was a B-grade hero. 

In fact, Tina and Mithun appeared together in the 1984 film Wanted. Before this film, Tina Munim had a different image of Mithun; she thought he was a hero of B-grade films. However, when Mithun Chakraborty achieved stardom, even Tina was stunned.

Mithun Chakraborty has appeared in over 400 films in his career. In addition to Hindi films, he has also acted in Bengali films. He has also appeared as a judge on several television shows, and audiences have always loved Mithun as an action hero.
