Becoming a star in the world of cinema does not depend only on box office collection, but it is also measured by fan following. This is the reason why despite continuously giving flop films, some actors are still counted in the category of big stars. Today we are talking about one such star. He was once called a superstar. He has given 180 flop films in his career, out of which 33 were consecutive flops. Despite this, his huge fan base makes him a star.
180 movies flop
This superstar of the 80-90s is Mithun Chakraborty. In Mithun’s career spanning over 40 years, he has given 180 flop films. He worked in about 300 films during his career. His last solo hit in the lead role was the film ‘Chandal’ released in 1998. After this, he appeared in side roles in some films like Guru and Golmaal 3, which were successful. Except these, all his films after 1998 were unsuccessful.
Who is second after Mithun?
There is no other star close to Mithun in this record of giving flop films. Talking about other actors, Govinda has 76 flop films in his career, while Akshay Kumar has 60. Anil Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt are active actors who have given more than 50 flop films.
Mithun Chakraborty gave 33 consecutive flop films
After the release of Chandaal in 1998, Mithun Chakraborty’s poor form started. In the next nine years, he acted in 33 films and all of them failed at the box office. These include Hitler, Yamraj, Ganga Ki Kasam, Billa No. 786, Agniputra, Chalbaaz, Elaan and Chingari. Actually, none of these 33 films crossed the Rs 5 crore mark at the box office. Ultimately, Mithun got a hit film as Mani Ratnam’s Guru. Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and R Madhavan were in lead roles in the film.
