But no one is aware that he will start working on the script of Yaadon Ki Baaraat, which will mark the comeback of Mansoor Khan. Mansoor and Aamir made their joint debuts with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak in 1987. After that Mansoor made Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, Akele Hum Akele Tum and Josh before he settled down in Coonoor.”
The close source further included, “He had no intention of returning to Bollywood until Imran Khan was about to debut with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Mansoor came back to Mumbai to take care of the film’s production. The director has time and again denied any news of his comeback. However, Aamir wanted him to direct a film again. After Aamir finishes three films as a producer, they will start working on the remake.”
