Actor Deepak Tijori is remembered for his roles in Aashiqui (1990), Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992), Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1994) amongst others. But do you know he had auditioned for Salman Khan’s standard movie Maine Pyar Kiya?
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Tijori revealed that he had auditioned for the function of Prem in Maine Pyar Kiya. The actor stated he and Salman Khan have been competing “neck to neck” for it. However, after watching the rushes of their audition, Sooraj Barjatya and his household determined to solid Salman.
“Yes. Salman Khan and I auditioned for it. I was competing. Sooraj Barjatya later told me that after watching the rushes, the Barjatya family decided to go ahead with Salman Khan. Salman and I were the only two people who were competing for the role of Prem, neck-to-neck. They had even told me that if they selected me, they’d like to change my name on the screen and discussed how they’d like to launch me,” he recalled.
While Deepak Tijori had a good run as an actor, his directorial profession didn’t take off. His directorial ventures Oops! (2003) and Tom Dick and Harry 2 (2008) have been extensively panned.
