Khakee: The Bengal Chapter actor Mimoh Chakraborty recalls Salman Khan’s beautiful gesture to promote his debut film; hails him as ‘elder brother’

Salman Khan isn’t just a renowned actor, but also a generous individual with a heart of gold. He is widely recognized for nurturing new talents in the industry. One such name is Mimoh Chakraborty, son of the legendary actor Mithun Chakraborty. Lately, Mimoh spoke about Salman’s kind gesture to help promote his debut film, Jimmy.

During an engaging conversation with Digital Commentary, Mimoh Chakraborty revealed a touching story about how Salman Khan assisted him when he was just beginning his career. He emphasized that not only did Khan offer moral encouragement, but he also financed Mimoh’s debut movie, Jimmy, which hit the screens in 2008.

Salman Khan has been incredibly supportive towards me, more like an older brother would be. He came up with the idea for the teaser of ‘Jimmy’ to be played alongside his movie ‘Partner’ in theaters, and that title was actually suggested by Sohail Khan, as he shared.

Despite the fact that the movie “Partner,” starring Salman Khan and Govinda, was a hit, Jimmy didn’t excel in his role. Mimoh remembered taking his entire family to the theater to watch Partner, as he reminisced about people’s reactions to his teaser. He shared that the audience fell silent and then applauded and whistled at the preview of his film.

When his first movie, “Khakee: The Bengal Chapter,” premiered, he was 24 years old and believed himself to be a star. However, following the film’s release on Friday afternoon, he stopped receiving phone calls and payments. At that moment, he felt like his world had collapsed and didn’t leave his house for an entire year.

Even so, despite the initial obstacle, years passed before Khan contacted Mimoh’s mother and requested to be sent to the sets of Sultan. The actor recalled Khan gesturing towards him, saying to his assistant director, “Do you think you’re facing difficulties? At least you have a chance. Look at him—he doesn’t even have the opportunity to struggle.

He went on to admit, “That remark really affected me. He encouraged me to keep going and promised to be with me when the moment came.

Beyond what’s been mentioned, he additionally discussed receiving uplifting messages from Abhishek Bachchan. He suggested that he should disregard others’ opinions and consistently keep in mind his own identity.
