Mumbai, June 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) The biographical drama ‘Michael’ inspired by the life of pop legend Michael Jackson, reached movie buffs in April this year. Now, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has demanded a biopic on the life of veteran Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty through his latest social media post.
Sanjay is of the opinion that Mithun Chakraborty's story also deserves a biopic, just like Michael Jackson. Stressing on the cinematic appeal of Mithun Chakraborty's biopic, the director pointed out that his journey, which started from a humble background and made him a massive name in Indian cinema, deserves its own screen adaptation.
Taking to his official X (Formerly known as Twitter) handle, the 'Kaante' maker wrote, “Just like MICHAEL, we have a star whose story demands to be told. Struggle. Sacrifice. Superstardom. A kid from Calcutta who had nothing but hunger and rhythm. Mithun Chakraborty. Mithun Da — your biopic is long overdue (sic)."

He made his acting debut with Mrinal Sen’s "Mrigayaa" in 1976. His performance garnered a lot of praise, along with a National Film Award for 'Best Actor'.
Mithun Chakraborty reached new heights of fame with the 1982 release "Disco Dancer". Along with becoming a major success at the box office, it also ended up becoming a triumph in the Soviet Union.
Some of his other praiseworthy projects include 'Agneepath' (1990), 'Dance Dance' (1987), 'Swami Vivekananda' (1998), 'Pyar Ka Devta' (1991), 'Swarg Yahan Narak Yahan' (1991), 'Dil Aashna Hai' (1992), 'Ghar Jamai '(1992), 'Dalaal' (1993), 'Aadmi '(1993), and 'Phool Aur Angaar' (1993), to name just a few.
