 At this point, Mukul was largely considered a skilful director, who held much promise but somehow never managed to deliver solid successes.He finally hit the big league with the "Scarface"-inspired crime thriller "Agneepath" (1990) with Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role, which won Amitabh a National Award for Best Actor.He was reunited with Bachchan for the family drama "Hum" (1991), which was a box-office success and featured the popular song "Jumma Chumma".
