Celebrating Namashi Chakraborty: From Star Son to Storyteller in Bollywood

When your father is none other than Mithun Chakraborty, one of India’s most loved superstars, the expectations are always sky-high. But Namashi Chakraborty, who turns 33 today (September 4, 2025), has shown that he’s not just walking in his father’s shadow—he’s carving out his own path in Indian cinema.

This birthday is the perfect time to look back at his journey so far and what lies ahead for this young actor-director.

Early Life: Growing Up in a Film Family

Born in Mumbai in 1992, Namashi is the youngest son of Mithun Chakraborty and veteran actress Yogeeta Bali. With cinema in his blood, and siblings like Mahaakshay and Ushmey already part of the industry, it was only natural for him to dream of the big screen.

He trained at Shiamak Davar’s Institute of Performing Arts (SDIPA) and the Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting Institute, polishing his dance and acting skills before stepping into the spotlight.

First Steps in Bollywood

Namashi’s debut came with Bad Boy (2023), directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. While the film had mixed reviews, his performance as Raghu proved he had the screen presence to carry a lead role.

That same year, he appeared in India Fashion Factory (2023), exploring a different space and showing versatility early on.

Exciting Projects in the Pipeline

The coming years look promising for Namashi with some high-profile releases:

• 🎬 The Bengal Files (2025) – Releasing on September 5, 2025, where he plays Ghulam Sarwar.

• 🎬 Viraat (2026) – A Vikram Bhatt mystery-thriller set in colonial India, featuring a powerhouse cast including Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta.

• 🎬 GUESTS (2025) – A short film where he plays Dhruv.

• 🎬 Ghost: A Haunting Love Story – A romantic-horror currently in post-production.
  

Turning Director: A Bold New Chapter

The biggest birthday surprise? Namashi has announced his directorial debut under his banner MYRND MOVIES.

• Genre: Experimental romantic drama

• Release: February 2025

• Cast: His siblings Mahaakshay and Dishani Chakraborty, along with Kaushik Dasgupta, Vishnu Warrier, Shrikant Watts, Raahul Kanodia, and Samrat Rattan.

This marks a huge milestone as Namashi prepares to juggle both acting and directing responsibilities.

The Road Ahead

From a star kid finding his footing to an actor taking bold risks, Namashi’s journey reflects both privilege and perseverance. With films across different genres and now a directorial venture, he is stepping into a new era of storytelling.

At 33, he carries the legacy of a legend but also the hunger to create his own identity. Bollywood audiences now wait eagerly to see if he can balance both worlds—the expectations of being a Chakraborty and the excitement of being Namashi.
