Director Mansoor Khan recently shared an interesting story from the film 'Jo Jeeta Vohi Sikandar'. That said, Aamir played the role of Sanju in the film. Sanju is a bad-mannered guy, but people forgave Aamir for playing this role 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 said during a conversation in India Now and How that, in my view, 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 exam papers, he lied to Pooja Bedi's character, he took advantage of friendship despite knowing that Anjali i.e. Ayesha Julka likes him.

'Even if a star does something wrong, people forgive him' While speaking, Mansoor Khan endorsed filmmaker Deepak Tijori's character, portraying Deepak as Aamir's rival in the film. Mansoor said, 'Aamir was already a star then, so people saw him as 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 – that's sad.
He continued, 'Deepak Tijori's character was really good. He has done nothing wrong. There is a difference between heroes and villains. Aamir was the hero of my film, but in reality he was not the hero.
The film won two Filmfare Awards 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar' is one of the best films of Aamir's career. Released on 22 May 1992, Jo Jeeta Vohi Sikandar proved to be a cult classic. The film received 8 nominations at the Filmfare Awards, with the film winning the Best Film and Best Editing categories.
