A clip from the sets of popular reality show, Hunarbaaz is doing rounds on social media at the moment. In the much-shared clip, we can see one of the judges of the show, Mithun Chakraborty, shaking a leg with his songs, Namashi Chakraborty and Mahaakshay Chakraborty. The trio danced on the iconic song, Disco Dancer, from the film, I Am A Disco Dancer, whose music was directed by late legendary music composer, Bappi Lahiri. Mithun and his sons gave an outstanding tribute to the late composer. The video clip is receiving immense love from the netizens. However, what caught everyone's attention was that Namashi looked like a carbon copy of his dad, Mithun, while dancing on Disco Dancer.
Late music composer and singer, Bappi Lahiri had passed away on February 15, 2022, due to obstructive sleep apnea at CritiCare hospital in Mumbai. Everyone is aware of the fact that Bappi Da had played a massive role in Mithun's acting career, as they had given so many hit tracks to Indian cinema during their era. Once in an interview with PTI (Press Trust Of India), Mithun had opened up about Bappi Lahiri's contribution in his career and had hailed him as the only person, who had understood his 'hatke' dancing style. He had said:
"The best part was that Bappi da understood my dancing. I brought something new-- disco dancing, which was a departure from others. Bappi da understood that I dance 'hatke' (different) and so he started giving music accordingly. It became like 1+1=2, hum jud gaye (we connected). When we became one, we gave legendary hits."
