Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar also abbreviated as JJWS is a 1992 Indian Hindi-language coming-of-age sports drama film, directed and co-written by Mansoor Khan, and produced and co-written by Nasir Hussain. It stars Aamir Khan, Ayesha Jhulka, Deepak Tijori, Mamik Singh, Pooja Bedi and Kulbhushan Kharbanda in the lead.

Production

The film was directed by Mansoor Khan, and written and produced by Nasir Hussain. Girija Shettar was initially chosen before she was replaced by Ayesha Jhulka after the first schedule. Akshay Kumar had auditioned, and Milind Soman was signed for Shekhar Malhotra's role, before Deepak Tijori played the role. Soman had completed 75% of his scenes before being replaced by Tijori.

The plot has similarities to the film Breaking Away (1979) and is claimed to have been inspired by it. However, Mansoor Khan stated that he only became aware of Breaking Away after the likeness was brought to his attention, some time after the release of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.
