Mansoor Khan

Mansoor Hussain Khan (born 30 May 1958) is an Indian film director and producer known for his works in Hindi cinema.

Early and personal life
He is the son of film-maker Nasir Hussain. Khan attended IIT Bombay, Cornell University, and MIT before making his foray into Hindi cinema.

Khan is settled in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu with his wife Tina, where he indulges in farming. Their children are daughter Zayn and son Pablo.

Film career
Khan made his directorial debut with the super-hit Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), for which Khan received the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, and the Filmfare Award for Best Director for that year. Mansoor Khan's directorial debut paved the way back for the musical romantic genre in Hindi Cinema.

He followed this success four years later with Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander (1992). Mansoor Khan's last two films; Akele Hum Akele Tum (1995) and Josh (2000) were moderately successful. In 2008, he made a comeback, albeit as a producer, and has co-produced the movie Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na along with Aamir Khan, which marked the debut of his nephew Imran Khan.

Non Film work
He has launched a book, "The Third Curve" (2013), which talks about the world economy. He talks about unsustainable cities and society's false understanding of money in his book.

His second book, titled "One: The story of the Ultimate Myth", was published in Aug 2023. The key idea behind the book is the oneness and interconnectedness of life that the modern world, in many ways, doesn't seem to understand.
