Deepak Tijori proposes Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar sequel: “Aamir Khan and I can play headmasters of rival schools”; FULLY supports Deepika Padukone’s eight-hour demand: “She shouldn’t suffer because she is a mother”

Recently, Deepak Tijori has been in the news after he was nominated for the Best Actor award at the Independent Short Awards, Los Angeles, USA, for his role in the short film Echoes Of Us. In his 35-year career, the veteran actor had neither won any award nor been nominated even once and hence, this feat was significant for him. The other interesting development has been that he signed a Gujarati film, Get Set Go. During its mahurat in Ahmedabad recently, Deepak Tijori talked to The Times of India about his journey and a lot more.

In this interview, Deepak Tijori expressed the desire to be a part of the sequel of his memorable 1992 film, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. He said, “I would love to do a sequel of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar with Aamir (Khan). It should be a continuation of the story. Maybe we can play headmasters of rival schools.” In the original film, both played students of rival schools.

On exploring regional cinema, Deepak Tijori added, “I did a Gujarati film (Hun Tu Ne Ramtudi; 1998) more than two decades ago. I have been watching Gujarati films and fortunately, things have changed for the better and interesting concepts are being explored. I was offered a couple of other films prior to Get Set Go, but I felt I should explore this one.”

He also revealed, “Once, when Bhatt sahab (Mahesh Bhatt) tried to offer me a lead role, producers said that I can’t be a hero. I idolized Sanjeev Kumar and dreamt of the kind of roles he played in films like Trishul (1978) and Sholay (1975). After the slump, I’m now ready with interesting films. I hope directors offer me more character roles suitable for my age. I don’t want to play just a father.”

Finally, Deepak Tijori fully supported Deepika Padukone on her clause of working for eight hours, “I fully support her demand for an eight-hour workday because she wanted to spend time with her child. She has worked in 12-hour shifts in the past. It (working hours) should be one’s individual decision and she shouldn’t suffer because she is a mother.”
