‘Haunted’ franchise actor Mimoh Chakraborty recently shared how his outlook on life and career has changed over the years. The actor shared that time, experience and personal growth have helped him become more focused and responsible. Looking back at his early years in the film industry, the star kid admitted that he viewed success differently when Haunted first released. Today, he believes accomplishments are only part of a larger journey. For him, every achievement brings fresh challenges and new goals. The actor explained that his priorities have evolved significantly. Rather than dwelling on success, he now prefers to focus on what comes next.
Success means greater responsibility
Speaking to IANS about the response to ‘Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past’, Mimoh said the audience deserves credit for the film’s success. At the same time, he stressed that artists must continue pushing themselves creatively.Sharing his thoughts, Mimoh said, “When the first Haunted came, my answer would have been different. Today, it’s about what’s next? What do we do next? Because we all know the journey of Echoes of the Past. We know that we had to put this in front of the people. And today the success is because of the audience. But as actors, as filmmakers, it’s about what do we do next? I think 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. It’s I think success makes you more responsible.”
From brash to responsible
Mimoh also spoke candidly about how his personality has changed over time. He acknowledged that he was far more impulsive during the early stages of his career. According to the actor, maturity has helped him develop a more measured approach to both life and professional decisions. He now prefers to focus on long-term growth rather than immediate achievements. Reflecting on this transformation, Mimoh shared, “And I think I’ve become more responsible now. 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.”
Haunted franchise remains important
Mimoh began his acting career with Jimmy in 2008. He later gained recognition through ‘Haunted – 3D’, which became known for introducing stereoscopic 3D horror to Indian cinema. The actor has remained closely associated with the franchise over the years.
