Mithun Chakraborty & Imran Khalid Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Sanyasi Mera Naam; the 2000s to Aaj Ka Ravan. Mithun Chakraborty acted in every film; Imran Khalid directed all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Imran Khalid was a newcomer when Mithun Chakraborty personally recommended him for the lead role in 'Sanyasi Mera Naam' (1999). Mithun had seen his work in a small theater production and told the director, 'This boy has fire.'
• In 'Aaj Ka Ravan' (2000), Mithun deliberately slowed down his usual high-energy action style to match Imran's raw, untrained intensity. Imran later said Mithun would whisper 'thoda ruk, thoda ruk' before every fight scene so they'd land punches in sync.
• During the shoot of 'Billa No. 786' (2000), Mithun would cook biryani for the entire crew every Sunday. Imran was his designated chopper — he'd spend hours dicing onions while Mithun told him stories about his early days in Bollywood.
• Imran Khalid once told a trade magazine: 'Mithun da didn't treat me like a co-star. He treated me like a younger brother who needed to be pushed into the fire so he could learn to fly.'
• Their third film together, 'Billa No. 786' (2000), was the first Hindi movie to feature a remix of a classic Mithun song ('I Am a Disco Dancer') as a promotional gimmick. That remix trend exploded across Bollywood in the early 2000s.
