Film career

Mansoor Khan's directorial debut paved the way back for the musical romantic genre in Hindi Cinema.
He followed this success four years later with Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander (1992). Mansoor Khan's last two films; Akele Hum Akele Tum (1995) and Josh (2000) were moderately successful. In 2008, he made a comeback, albeit as a producer, and has co-produced the movie Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na along with Aamir Khan, which marked the debut of his nephew Imran Khan.
