Early life

Film Career

Mahakshay debuted with a lead role in the 2008 film Jimmy, playing a DJ in Mumbai, who is falsely accused of a murder he never did, which leads him into the crime world. Jimmy wasn't a commercial success at the box office, and had mixed reviews, but mostly negative. A few positive, but many critics gave it negative reviews, even the critic who signed him up for the role of Jimmy Pushp in the film stated that "Jimmy is a poor show all the way. The script disappoints, not the star-kid. The film may not have a future, but the star-kid does!"

In 2009, he starred in the action flick, Hamilton Palace, which was earlier tiled as The Murderer along with Simran, Monalisa, Raza Murad and Shakti Kapoor. He also appeared in a special appearance in Spaghetti 24/7 with his father Mithun Chakraborty. In May 2011 his next film Haunted - 3D released, which was the first Indian stereo-scopic 3-D horror film. The film though had a slow start and mixed reviews from critics, it started picking up from the weekends. Though clashing with a Yashraj release and follwed by another horror Balaji Telefilms release; Ragini MMS, Haunted went on to run for five weeks on a row, grossing enormously in the 3D version and handsomely in the 2D. Soon it became the highest grossing horror film of India. The film's soundtrack too was a major success
