In an exclusive conversation with BollywoodThikana, Deepak Tijori said, ‘I watched a film A Kiss Before Dying and narrated it as a story. At that time, this was how it worked, there was no concept of copyright, the studio system was not implemented. So, most of the films were inspired by Hollywood films, so I told Abbas Mastan that this is a villain role that I will do and he can do other heroes and other roles. They agreed. Khiladi was then released, followed by Jo Jeeta Wo Sikandar. Now people in the distribution circle were looking at me as if I was progressing and would soon become a hero.
