Mithun Chakraborty's son Namashi: 'Amitabh Bachchan once saw my father sitting in a tempo, offered him lift in his car'

Mithun Chakraborty ’s son Namashi is gearing up for his Bollywood debut with Rajkumar Santoshi’s Bad Boy that releases on April 28 in cinemas. In an interview with ETimes, he spoke about his father’s early days of struggle despite a successful and acclaimed debut, fetching him a National award. He revealed, “ Amitabh Bachchan once saw my father sitting in this tempo with the production people and he pulled up his car. He asked, ‘You are Mithun, from Mrigayaa? You are that actor? He said, ‘Yes, Bachchan saab.” He further revealed Bachchan was shocked to know Chakraborty didn’t own a car. “Something triggered in Mr Bachchan and he said, ‘Come in my car, I’ll drop you to your location.’ For a National Award-winning actor, who was treated like a newcomer, the biggest superstar makes you sit in his car and drops you to the location. So the friendship is from those days. The association has been for about 45 years now,” he added. The duo has worked together in films like Ganga Jamuna Saraswati and Agneepath. When it comes to Bollywood’s ‘Shahenshah’ Amitabh Bachchan, people are always left in awe seeing him going strong at 80 and battling all human frailties along the way. Despite going through an endless number of debilitating health conditions since the accident that took place on the sets of Coolie, the actor is yet in no mood to stop. Bachchan who is recovering from an injury that he sustained while shooting for his upcoming film, Project K is now going through another pain. As revealed in his blog, the actor is in “severe pain” due to growth under his callus for which doctors were also called in late at night.
