Finding Mimoh 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, January 12, 2006 - 00:54 IST
Mimoh Chakraborty is the new star son on the block. The eldest son of Mithun Chakraborty, Mimoh is all set to make his debut in the film He - The Only One. Here's introducing the latest star-kid on the block.
What's with the name Mimoh?
His real name is Mahakshay, but since the name seems hard to pronounce, Mithun decided to make it Mimoh, which is both, short and sweet. In fact the name is a combination of Michael Jackson and Mohammed Ali who happens to be his father's idols.
Mimoh is just 21 (date of birth July 30, 1984)
Yet the fact is that he wished to start his career a couple of years back to which his father Mithun didn't agree. Mithun made him learn acting, dancing, fighting and direction at the Film Academy in Los Angeles. It's only now that Mithun thinks that Mimoh is mature enough to start his acting career.
But getting his first break wasn't really a piece of cake, for this star son. The first time when Mimoh auditioned for his father, Mithun's feedback was “You're horrible!” But Mimoh didn't give up and worked rigorously to train himself as an actor.
And all this training worked for him when he gave a perfect shot in just one take, for his debut film He - The Only One.
His debut film will be a remake of a Telugu film called Athanokkade. Mimoh thought it would be ideal to start a career with such a film as it has the right mix of romance, comedy and plenty of action, just the right kind of break a newcomer needs to display all his talents.
Mimoh says his debut film He - The Only One is going to be a complete entertainer and he'll see to it that the audiences will get the worth for their money when they watch him in action.
Mimoh had once aspired to be an astronomer and join NASA but the dream of becoming a star in Bollywood seemed to be more attractive for this young lad rather than heading for the real stars.
As a kid he was a very fat with big nerdy glasses. The situation was such that before he could propose the girl he liked, the girl would make him her rakhi brother. But whom he really fantasized about was Malaika Arora-Khan.
Salman Khan is very fond of Mimoh. Mithun says that both Salman and Sanjay Dutt are like his elder brothers and are always very concerned about him.
Mithun says that he will never appear in Mimoh's films as he wants his son to create his own identity. He wants people to know him as Mimoh and not as Mithun's son.
If given a chance, Mimoh says that he would like to enact his father's role in the film Phool Aur Angaar.
