Deepak Tijori, known for his memorable roles in the 1990s, recently opened up about how he was cast in the iconic film *Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar*. Initially, Tijori was rejected for the role after an audition, leaving him disappointed. However, months later, the film's production faced setbacks when actors walked off the set, stalling the project. Tijori was summoned to the set in Ooty by Aamir Khan and director Mansoor Khan, who needed him to take over the role initially given to Milind Soman. Despite his reservations, Tijori agreed after confirming that Soman was aware of the change. Milind later revealed that he left the film due to poor treatment on set, including not being provided food on time. *Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar* eventually became a landmark film of the era, elevating the careers of both Tijori and Aamir Khan.
