Aamir Khan, whose production house is backing the movie Secret Superstar, says the film has a lot of “secret” superstars.
Secret Superstar is the story of a girl who dreams of becoming a singer, but repressed by her family, she reaches her audience on social media. The role of the aspiring singer Insu has been played by Zaira Wasim, who was seen alongside Khan in Dangal.
The film has been helmed by debut director Advait Chandan.
“I would like to say [wife] Kiran and I feel we are so fortunate that such talented people have come to us with material that we have loved and it’s great for us to be able to make films, introduce films, give opportunity to creative talent like Advait,” Khan said in a statement.
“Secret Superstar as the title in the film refers to Zaira and of course, Zaira is a huge star but it’s no longer a secret. She was a secret superstar until Dangal had released. But I must tell you that Secret Superstar has got many secret superstars in it.
“Slowly one by one we will be revealing each one of the superstars as we go along this journey and Advait is certainly one of them. When you see the film you’ll realise what a beautiful story he has written and how well he had made the film,” he added.
Produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Zee Studios, and Akash Chawla, Secret Superstar is slated to release this Diwali. (The Hindu festival will be celebrated on october 19 this year.)
