Close to a decade after his name last flashed on the credits for a movie, Mansoor Khan is back in action.The man who made his debut as a film maker with QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK and followed it up by JO JEETA WAHI SIKANDAR and AKELE HUM AKELE TUM last wielded the megaphone for JOSH (2000). Ever since then, Mansoor Khan has taken a sabbatical from film making even though each of his films met with either critical or commercial acclaim or both.
Now for the launch of his nephew Imraan Khan, he is making an exception and returning to film making. However, it is in the capacity of a producer rather than a director. The film is JAANE TU NA JAANE NA which is a co-production between Aamir Khan Productions and PVR Cinema and has Mansoor and Aamir working together with Bijli brothers of PVR to get the project together.
As per Aamir Khan, Mansoor Khan came on board after his personal request since he was busy with TAARE ZAMEEN PAR and wanted someone to be at the helm of affairs for handling day-to-day production activities in JAANE TU YA JAANE NA. However, when it comes directing a film, Mansoor Khan has still not penciled in a subject and currently there is an indefinite wait before the man comes behind the camera again.
