The shocking revelation was made by choreographer-director Farah Khan, who was the casting director of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, revealed at JIO MAMI 18th Mumbai International Film Festival.

"Mansoor has forgotten that I was the in-charge of casting as well. There were many actors who were tested for this film. Yes, Akshay Kumar had tested for the film and Nagma was already fixed for the movie. Akshay had given the test in Aamir's garden," Mid-Day quoted Farah as saying.

Apparently, Aamir wasn't aware of the Good Newzz star's audition and hence expressed shock at Farah's revelation at the event. It was then that Farah said, "It wasn't your role, but Deepak Tijori's" adding that Mansoor had rejected Akshay.
