During the 1970s and 80s, the film industry was dominated by superstars like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Vinod Khanna, and Rajesh Khanna. Do you know that at that time, an actor entered Bollywood and made a name for himself? Today, this actor does not work actively like Amitabh Bachchan or Dharmendra, but his stardom is still the same as it used to be in that era. Even now, he has a large fan following. He is the only Bollywood star who has given 180 flop films in his 47 year-long career and has not even seen about 200 of his films. The Bollywood star we are talking about is Mithun Chakraborty. Still, to this day, Mithun Chakraborty is considered a superstar.
According to reports, the reason behind his superstardom is that Mithun Chakraborty, along with appearing in 180 flop films, has also starred in 50 hit films, the fourth-highest number for any actor.
Mithun Chakraborty formerly held the record for the most consecutive flop films in the 1990s, with 33 of his films failing back-to-back from 1993 to 1998. In an interview, Mithun Chakraborty stated, “I have done around 370 films, of which I have not seen about 200 to date. Of them, 150 films received Golden and Diamond Jubilees, and many remained on screen for two years, but even in those 200 films, I worked with complete honesty and hard effort.”
Mithun Chakraborty, despite having the record for most flop films, continues to maintain his superstardom. He still enjoys a huge fan following among the viewers and is considered a superstar by many.
Reports suggest Mithun Chakraborty has a net worth of Rs 50 million, roughly equivalent to Rs 400 crore. He also owns many luxurious cars, including the Mercedes Benz 1975, Toyota Fortuner, and Ford Endeavour. He also owns several real estate holdings around India.
