Director Mansoor Khan recently shared an interesting story from the film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. He said: Aamir played the character of Sanju in the film. Sanju is a person with bad behavior, but people forgave Aamir for playing this role just because he was already a star.
Aamir was not the hero of the film but the villain – Mansoor
Aamir Khan’s cousin Mansoor Ali Khan in a conversation in India Now and How said that in my opinion Aamir was not the hero of the film, but the villain. Because Aamir’s character was not good. He stole money from his father, he changed the exam papers, he lied to Pooja Bedi’s character, he took advantage of the friendship even though he knew that Anjali, that is -say Ayesha Julka, liked him.

“Even if a star does something wrong, people forgive him”
While speaking, Mansoor Khan supported the character of film producer Deepak Tijori, in the film Deepak was introduced as Aamir’s competitor. Mansoor said, “Aamir was already a star at that time, so people considered him a star. Even when Aamir lies in the film, he speaks so well that people don’t see his bad character. Because he was a star, people ignore him – it’s sad.
He added, “Deepak Tijori’s character was actually better. He didn’t do anything wrong. There is a difference between a hero and a villain. Aamir was the hero of my film, but in reality he was not a hero.
