Deepak recalled his experience of working in the Aamir Khan film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. He revealed that he was more of a replacement. He said, “Haan haan woh pata tha. Milind tha waha pe uss role mein..Milind Soman…lekin mujhe lagta hai ki pata nahi film stall ho gayi thi, almost band ho chuki thi aur mujhe baad mein bulaya gaya tha.”
Speaking of preparing for his role, Deepak said, “I wasn’t into diet and stuff, but yes, I was made to cycle like a maniac. I remember the first day when Aamir and Mansoor Khan and all the national cyclists were shocked, as I was nothing close to being a sportsman who could ever be a cyclist.”
Deepak Tijori made his acting debut with Mahesh Bhatt’s Aashiqui starring Rahul Roy in 1990. He is all set to make his acting comeback with National Award winning filmmaker’s directorial Ittar.
Deepak’s last project was Tipppsy which he wrote and directed.
