Mimoh Chakraborty on 'Echoes of the Past': 'Success makes you more responsible'
Synopsis
Mimoh Chakraborty's self-assessment — brash then, responsible now — is more than a promotional soundbite. It frames a career defined by the gap between a high-profile debut and a slow rebuild, culminating in a horror franchise revival that reunites the team behind 1920: Horrors of the Heart.

Actor Mimoh Chakraborty says the journey from his debut days to his latest release has fundamentally reshaped how he defines success — and himself. In a candid conversation, the Mumbai-based actor reflected on shedding the brashness of his younger years and embracing a more grounded, forward-looking outlook as his career enters a new chapter.
A Changed Perspective on Success
Mimoh, whose latest film Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past released in theatres on 12 June 2026, drew a sharp contrast between who he was at the time of the original Haunted and who he is today. ‘When the first Haunted came, my answer would have been different. Today, it’s about what’s next? What do we do next?’ he said.
He attributed the shift not to any single event but to the cumulative weight of experience. ‘I think success makes you more responsible. Back then I was brash, but today I’m more responsible. Today I’m like, OK, I’ve done this. We have achieved this. What do we achieve next? What do we try to achieve? I think that’s where I am today,’ he added.
Grounded Despite the Spotlight
Despite the commercial attention surrounding Echoes of the Past, Mimoh described his post-release routine in notably understated terms. ‘I just go home and just go back to my pajamas and go pet my dogs and spend time with my wife. I think nothing has changed. Nothing should change,’ he said — a deliberate contrast to the image of a star caught up in box-office validation.
This grounding, he suggested, is itself a product of maturity — the ability to absorb a win without losing sight of what comes next.
About the Film and Its Team
Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past is a spiritual sequel to the 2011 horror film Haunted – 3D, which was notably India’s first stereoscopic 3D horror film. The new film is directed by Vikram Bhatt and features Chetna Pande, Gaurav Bajpai, Hemant Pandey, Shruti Prakash, and Praneet Bhat alongside Mimoh.
The film is produced by Anand Pandit, Javed Khan King, and Shwetambari Bhatt, with veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt serving as presenter. The collaboration reunites the core creative team behind 1920: Horrors of the Heart, marking their second major horror project together.
Career Arc: From Jimmy to Horror Franchise
Mimoh, son of veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty, made his Bollywood debut with the 2008 film Jimmy. His path since then has been unconventional — punctuated by the landmark 3D horror experiment of 2011 and now a franchise revival more than a decade later.
With Echoes of the Past now in theatres, attention will turn to whether the horror franchise can sustain momentum beyond its opening run — and what Mimoh Chakraborty chooses to pursue next.
Point of View
And the years since have been more struggle than stardom — which makes the self-awareness on display here more credible than most promotional circuits produce. The real question the industry should ask is whether horror, a genre that has consistently punched above its weight at the Indian box office, can sustain a franchise model with Mimoh at its centre. His instinct to credit the audience and immediately pivot to what comes next suggests he understands that longevity is built in the gaps between releases, not at the premiere.
