Present Life: One of the legendary actor of Bollywood, popularly known as Mithun Da, playing his second innings in the silver screen. His comeback in the Bollywood, was in the year 2005 doing a negative role (which according to him was a godfather type role) as Baba Shikander in Vikram Bhatt’s ELAAN, which was not successful on the screen. He does a dozen of movies in a raw including Mani Ratnam’s GURU, playing the role of Manik Dasgupta, gave him an appreciatable platform after a big break.


His recent movies in a raw, like Suresh Karnik’s HEROES, Nikhil Advani’s CHANDHN CHOWK TO CHINA, Anil Sharma’s VEER (playing the role of Salman khan’s father), Subhash Ghai’s YUVVRAAJ, Rohit Shetty's GOLMAAL 3 and a lot of small budget movies like ZOR LAGA KE HAEEYA (with Ria Sen),CHAL CHALEIN etc came in news for several reasons, as Golmaal 3 became a Hit. He is giving his Hits in Tollywood (Bengali Film Industry) also; movies like BAROOD, GURU, BANGALI BABU, JUDDHA, MLA PHATAKESTO etc are superhit in West Bengal. His recent bengali flick SHUKNO LANKA get a great response all over the movie world, its about a story of a junior artist and Mithun da played the lead role. By managing his hotel business and doing movies in Bollywood, Tollywood and Bhojpuri filmdom is not an easy task according to the actor. He is always thankful to the god for his received platform, which was just like a dream for his past life, when he was studding and doing work as a Naxalite. Many few of us can know that from last 14yrs, Dada was the chairman for the Labor Association in the Mumbai Film Industry. All the small crews, from carpenters to spot boys, all are its member. They believe their dada who help them when they need money. According to the actor he just support them and everything else is their prize. We all simply salute to the actor's gratitude.

Join Naxalite group for the source of earning. End up the group after his brother’s death, came to Pune, and completed his diploma in acting from FTII.Unforetunately rejected from Pune in the time of his final selection as he was engaged in politics earlier (Naxalite) and then went back to Kolkata again and start the battle ever again. Debut in 1975 on Mrinal Sen’s MRIGAYA and won the nation award for Best Actor in his 1st movie, which is still a record in lndia for an Actor. Married actress Yogita Bali and have four children.


At a time regarded as one of the strong pillar of Hindi mainstream cinema like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jitendra, Satrugan Sinha etc. Giving many hits to the industry like DISCO DANCER, DANCE DANCE, KASAM PAEDA KARNE WALE KI, GURU, COMMANDO, DAATA, PREM PRATIGYA, PYAR KA MANDIR, PYAR KA DEVTA, PYAR JHUKTA NAHI, SURAKSHA etc.


After mid 90’s shifted to Ooty (Tamil Nadu) and started doing movies in his own term, at that time he worked most of the time with Director T.L.V Prashad and those movies are super hit in remote areas of Bihar, West Bengal and Orissa (even many people think of him as a superhero and they make a website named as Mithunism-a religion) some of those movies are GUNDA, JALLAD, CHEETAH, SHERA, MAA KASAM, VILLA NO. 786, CHANDAL, BHAIRAV, SANNYASHI MERA NAAM, BENGAL TIGER and on and on, have done more than 12 movies in a year at that time. The movies are also dobbed in Bengali and released in Bangladesh. Mithun da is very popular in countries like Russia (after DISCO DANCER) and Pakistan (where he is called as Mitthan).
