"Just the thought of facing the camera would make me shiver" - Mimoh Chakraborty
Here is an exclusive interview with Mimoh where he shares his experience about working in his debut venture, Jimmy, releasing this Friday.
Are
you
nervous
or
excited
for
the
release
of
your
film?
Honestly,
I
can't
explain
how
I
am
feeling…it's
beyond
any
expression.
Well,
if
I
have
to
put
into
one
word,
I
am
scared
as
to
how
people
would
react
to
my
performance
in
the
film.
Expectations
being
a
star's
son
tend
to
touch
the
sky
and
I
hope
to
live
up
to
them.
Tell
us
what
Jimmy
is
all
about?
Jimmy
is
a
thriller,
which
revolves
around
the
protagonist
named
Jimmy,
played
by
me.
Jimmy
is
a
perfectionist
and
a
workaholic
who
has
no
complaints
from
both
his
personal
and
professional
life.
I
work
as
a
driver
during
the
day
and
DJ
in
the
night.
However,
with
the
twists
and
turns
in
the
story,
nothing
seems
as
it
is
supposed
to.
What
happens
next
is
what
Jimmy
is
all
about.
Hmmm...workaholic!
You
seem
to
be
the
same
way
in
real
life
too;
two
more
films
of
yours
are
lined
up
for
the
release
this
year.
What's
the
secret
behind
this
energy?
It's
give
me
immense
satisfaction
and
pleasure
to
be
a
part
of
the
film
fraternity
and
I
love
to
work
round
the
clock,
I
feel
I
have
become
addicted
to
it
now.
As
a
beginner,
I
would
like
to
experiment
and
give
my
hundred
percent
if
I
have
to
prove
myself.
Acting
has
become
a
passion
now
and
trust
me,
I
can't
think
beyond
that.
I
am
not
doing
films
out
of
compulsion,
I
love
my
work
and
enjoy
every
bit
of
it
so
factors
like
energy,
stamina
eventually
fall
in
place
with
the
regular
workouts
I
do.
Moreover,
my
work
makes
me
self-sufficient…no
more
asking
pocket
money
from
Dad.
The
feeling
of
independence
is
very
satisfying
and
to
know
that
your
hard
work
is
paid
off
well
gives
you
the
kick
to
work
harder.
And
all
your
films
have
been
thrillers…why
this
inclination
towards
this
particular
genre?
There
is
no
special
inclination
towards
any
particular
genre.
I
believe
newcomers
should
not
be
choosy
about
their
work.
All
my
films
be
it
Hamilton
Palace,
Loot
or
Jimmy,
despite
being
thrillers
will
display
me
in
three
different
characters.
Call
it
a
pure
coincidence
(smiles);
I
signed
them
because
of
their
strong
script,
which
coincidently
happened
to
be
thrillers.
How
has
the
experience
of
facing
the
camera
been
so
far?
Honestly,
I
have
never
been
so
scared
in
my
life…you
won't
believe
I
was
trembling
on
the
very
first
day
of
my
shoot.
Just
the
thought
of
facing
the
camera
would
make
me
shiver…it
was
a
dance
sequence
and
I
was
completely
petrified.
But
to
my
surprise,
I
did
it
in
one
take
and
was
so
thrilled.
And
things
eventually
fell
in
place
thereafter.
Do
you
a
get
apprehensive
about
the
comparisons
between
you
and
your
father
Mithun
Chakraborty,
which
are
bound
to
happen?
What's
your
take
on
him?
I
like
to
see
the
other
side
of
the
coin.
Comparisons
between
my
father
and
me,
I
believe
is
the
USP
of
the
film
because
audience
will
be
keen
to
know
how
different
Mithun
Chakraborty's
son
is
from
him.
However,
can't
neglect
the
one
side
as
well
(laughs)
which
gives
me
nightmares
as
to
what
would
be
the
audience
reaction
to
my
film
and
my
performance
as
well.
And
as
far
as
my
Dad
is
concerned,
he
is
a
legend
himself…I
normally
fall
short
of
words
when
I
have
to
explain
him.
He
has
gone
through
a
lot
and
still
is
going
through.
He
keeps
on
pepping
me
up
saying,
"Son,
prepare
for
the
worst
and
hope
for
the
best." My
father
means
everything
to
me
and
I
hope
I
live
up
to
his
expectations.
I
have
learnt
a
lot
from
him…I
think
he
is
one
of
the
very
few
actors
who
climbed
the
ladders
of
success
with
the
originality
factor
and
I
try
my
level
best
to
follow
his
steps.
And
today,
my
father
as
an
actor
has
reached
new
heights
and
I
feel
proud
to
say
that
he
has
surpassed
himself
and
this
is
biggest
compliment
I
have
ever
given
him.
How
was
the
experience
working
with
veteran
actor
Shakti
Kapoor?
To
tell
you
the
truth;
Shaktiji
was
more
than
nice
to
me.
He
was
so
encouraging
on
the
sets.
I
am
an
introvert
person
and
don't
jell
with
people
easily.
Apart
from
the
fear
of
my
performance,
the
thought
of
mixing
up
with
my
co-stars
was
something,
which
was
giving
me
nightmares.
However,
I
was
more
than
happy
to
have
people
like
Shakti
Kapoor
in
Jimmy
and
Sunil
Shetty
in
Loot
because
they
treated
me
not
only
like
co-star
but
also
went
out
of
their
way
to
take
care
of
me
and
make
sure
that
I
am
comfortable.
Sunil
is
a
gem
of
a
person.
Not
just
on
the
sets
but
he
would
give
me
fitness
tips
in
the
gym.
How
is
the
music
of
the
film?
Which
is
your
favourite
track?
Jimmy
has
a
very
situational
music
something,
which
is
not
put
forcefully
to
add
the
style
and
melody
elements
to
the
film.
At
the
same
time,
I
feel
it's
really
good.
'Marhabba'
is
my
favourite
track
in
the
film,
which
took
40
days
to
be
completed
and
took
about
6
hours
daily.
What
is
the
USP
of
the
film?
Are
you
satisfied
with
the
way
the
film
has
shaped
up?
USP
is,
as
I
told
you
earlier
the
audiences'
curiosity
to
know
what
Mithun
Chakraborty's
son
can
do
and
how
good
or
bad
he
is.
Secondly,
the
story,
which
is
the
soul
of
the
film.
And,
I
am
more
than
satisfied
with
Jimmy
and
hope
it
works
well
at
the
box-office.
Share
some
memorable
moments
with
us
during
the
shoot
of
the
film?
I
can't
pin
point
any
one…the
entire
shoot
was
a
memorable
experience.
I
remember
I
had
hurt
myself
during
the
shoot
of
the
film
while
doing
one
stunt…and
everyone
was
so
supportive
that
despite
all
the
pain
I
managed
to
give
my
best.
However,
the
most
memorable
was
the
day
when
I
received
my
first
paycheck
and
I
bought
things
for
my
family
members.
That
was
most
touching
moment
of
my
life.
