Sunil Shetty, who has signed the star-son for Loot, thinks Mimoh dances like a dream. Mithun Chakraborty's son whose debut film Jimmy releases in February proved he had inherited his dancing skills from his father when he danced for 50 days for one song sequence in his debut film Jimmy.
The thought of refurbishing and pepping up Mimoh's debut film with a lavish item song came from the concerned father Mithun himself. When Mithun-da saw the finished product with his old friend Raj Sippy directs, he thought something else needed to be added to the product, hence the item song.
The shy newcomer describes the number 'Marhabba Yeh Rab MeraRooth Gaya', choreographed by Nadeem Khan, as the most exhilarating start any newcomer can hope for. "I don't know if I dance half as well as Anna Sir (Suniel) or my Dad thinks. But the number which we rehearsed and shot over a stretch of fifty days just made me feel so proud to be where I was and of my Dad's legacy that I'm carrying forward."
Shooting this baap of all item songs was a journey in time for Mithunda's baba. "The song was choreographed by Nadeem Khan who has done many of my father's songs and it was composed by Bappa Lahiri, Bappida's son. When I remember all the songs that Bappida and my dad teamed up to create history, I get goosebumps. In fact, my debut film's title Jimmy comes from a chartbuster composed by Bappida for dad."
Bappa and Mimoh are buddies. "And hopefully some of our dads' magic has rubbed off on both of us," says Mimoh hopefully as he waits nervously for D Day. And while Mimoh has one of Bollywood's abiding star as a guiding light at home. He gets to match strides with another dancing star in his two post-debut films. "Govindaji, whom I hero-worship along with my dad, is my co-star in my next two films Dharmesh Darshan's untitled film and Suneil Sir's Loot. And I've to dance with Govindaji in both! I guess more than my debut film I've reason to be nervous about what comes afterwards."
Incidentally, Mimoh's co-star in Dharmesh Darshan's film is Hansika Motwani who was supposed to make her debut with Mimoh two years ago. "I guess it's a small world, even if it's show-world," says Mimoh.
