Deepak Tijori told during a conversation that he was not the first choice for Shekhar Malhotra’s role. He said that despite the audition, he was initially rejected and the character was given to Milind Soman. He told Bollywood bubble, ‘Milind was doing the film. I had auditioned for this, but I was rejected. I was disappointed because I was rejected despite performing well. Then I moved forward and thankfully, my film ‘Aashiqui’ (1990) was successful.

Deepak told that after the shooting of 75 percent with Milind ‘Jo Jeeta Jeeta Wahi Sikandar’, the makers felt that he was not right for the role. He said, ‘I used to hear that there was some problem going on the set of’ Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander ‘. But since I was not associated with the film, I did not pay attention. I went ahead and ended ‘Aashiqui’ and ‘Sadak’ (1991). (Photo courtesy: imDB)
After being rejected with ‘Jeeva Jeeta Wohi Sikander’, Mahesh Bhatt proved to be a boon for Deepak and cast him in his films ‘Aashiqui’ and ‘Sadak’. Mahesh Bhatt inspired Deepak to give another chance to ‘Jo Jeeta Wahi Alexander’. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
Deepak recalled, ‘Mahesh Bhatt asked me to meet Mansoor Khan. I refused. You know how he abuses. This is his love and affection. I agreed to meet Mansoor and there I got a chance to meet Nasir Hussain Saheb. (Photo courtesy: imDB)

Deepak finally said, ‘I came to know something on the 30th anniversary of the film. Aamir and Mansoor told me that the film was closed and Mansoor was in depression, because they felt that they had ruined all the money of their father. The film was resumed after my arrival. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
