Life
Aimanov was born in a village in the Pavlodar Oblast in eastern Kazakhstan. He studied from 1931 to 1933 at the Kazakh Institute for Education in Semipalatinsk . During his studies he was active in a theater group at the university. After his studies he got a job as an actor and director at the Kazakh Drama Theater, of which he was artistic director from 1947 to 1951. In 1940 he joined the Communist Party .

In 1953 he gave up the theater and from then on concentrated on film directing. He made numerous films on Kazakh topics for the state film company Kazachfilm , often comedies or propaganda films on historical topics. The Encyclopaedia of Contemporary Russian states that the Kazakh national cinema started with Aimanow's directorial debut Poema o lubvi (1954).
