Mumbai, Jan 19 (IANS) Three-time National Award winning actor Mithun Chakraborty, who plays Abhishek Bachchan's foe and friend in the recently released "Guru", says his son Mimoh has far better dancing skills than him.

Mimoh is all set to make his debut on the big screen with "Jimmy".

"My son's film 'Jimmy' should be ready by March. The title comes from one of my hit songs. Mimoh is not at all like me. He's his own person. And he's a much better dancer than I am. Don't believe me? Watch him when he comes on screen," Mithun told IANS in an interview.

The best thing that strikes you about the veteran actor is his warmth and humility. "I'm glad to be around for so long," he said.

Thankfully, no one is offering him father and brother roles in Bollywood.

"My new release 'Guru' has me directed by Mani Ratnam. Do you know if things had gone well I'd have worked with him long ago! Yes, Mani had offered me a role in his Tamil film 'Iruvar' (which Prashant finally played), which I didn't do because I was required to cut my hair.

"If I had cut my hair for one film, a dozen other producers would've committed suicide. Ratnam is a filmmaker who has been doing exemplary work for many years."

Mithun says Ratnam is focused.

"He's an actor's director. He's very clear about what he wants. Whenever I thought I was going wrong, he assured me I was doing fine. Every time I had my doubts I'd run to the monitor to check out my shots. And he was right each time!

"There was so much to learn from him. And I'm not saying that just because I have to.

"All my young co-stars, Abhishek, Aishwarya, Madhavan, Vidya, are lovely to work with."
