Amitabh Bachchan has been reigning over Bollywood for the past 56 years. He not only proved his talent in the film industry but also earned such immense fame that even today every Sunday a crowd gathers outside his house just to catch a glimpse of him. However today we’ll talk about a Bollywood star who was once even more successful than Amitabh Bachchan. Now he is 75 years old and rarely seen in films he was known as Bollywood’s first ‘Disco Dancer’. His popularity was so immense that fans were crazy about him showering his films with the same level of love and admiration. Who is the actor who was once more famous than Amitabh Bachchan? Yes we are talking about Mithun Chakraborty Vishek Chauhan of Rupbani Cinema Hall spoke openly about this. He is the owner of a cinema hall in Bihar. He said that there was a time when the popularity of the actor was at its peak in Bihar. In a podcast he said that Mithuns charm was such that his films used to handle the business of single-screen theatres. Mithun is a legend it doesnt matter what anyone says about him and his career. But one thing is certain that there was a time when he used to give two blockbuster films in a month. He did a lot of films at that time even when he had a parallel industry in Ooty. Raj Babbar used to be the prime producer. Mithuns films that opened would open with 100 per cent occupancy. His action sequences became iconic. Films like Cheetah Ravan Raaj: A True Story Sanyasi Mera Naam Jabreela and Hitler were all superhit movies. I remember a film Baak Mard was being screened. At that time until the Bhojpuri industry boomed Mithun was the support system for single-screen theatres in Bihar. How much did Mithun Chakraborty earn? Vishek said that Mithuns films were made on a low budget yet maintained high quality. His business approach was very clear; he charged Rs 1 lakh per day and had only one condition: the film had to be shot in Ooty. The entire star cast would stay at his Monarch Hotel in Ooty. As long as he received his fee he was always ready to shoot.
