Mithun Chakraborty’s son Namashi says ‘infamous film’ Gunda has spoiled dad’s reputation among youth: ‘Given his stature, he shouldn’t have done it’

When asked to name one film that he wishes his father hadn’t done, Namashi told ETimes in a recent interview, “I think Gunda is a film which is so infamous. It is so notorious for its interesting content. Today’s generation and a lot of people think my dad is only capable of doing films like that. It became too infamous, so bad, it’s good. I mean I love the film, it’s hilarious but given his stature, he shouldn’t have done that film.”

Actor Mukesh Rishi, who essayed the role of Bulla in Gunda, had once shared how he was ashamed of his lines in the film. He had told Hindustan Times, “I felt ashamed while saying Bulla’s dialogues! There was a mixed feeling of shame and guilt, and I constantly questioned why I was doing this in the first place.”

Meanwhile, Namashi Chakraborty will be making his acting debut with the movie Bad Boy. Mithun will make a special appearance in one of the film’s songs. Bad Boy has been bankrolled by Anjum Qureshi and Sajid Qureshi under the banner Inbox Pictures.

It has been directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. The movie also stars Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Darshan Jariwala and Saswata Chatterjee in significant roles.
