Actor-producer Aamir Khan is determined to take Secret Superstar to China.
“Secret Superstar will definitely release in China in next one or two months. We are working on the planning aspect of it,” Khan said in Mumbai.
Khan is a popular Bollywood face in China; his movies PK and Dangal were a hit in the country .
The actor opened up about his plans during the film’s success party, which was hosted by director Advait Chandan. The film is produced by Khan and his wife, Kiran Rao, under the banner Aamir Khan Productions, Zee Studios and Akash Chawla.
In Secret Superstar, Zaira Wasim, who hails from Kashmir, plays a teenage girl named Insia who dreams of becoming a singer. The film is about how she fulfils her dreams while keeping her identity hidden.
Made on a budget of Rs150 million (Dh8.4 million) including the cost of production and prints and publicity, Secret Superstar released in India and the UAE on October 19. The film earned Rs415.9 million in its first week of release. For Gulf News tabloid’s review of the movie, click here.
Khan said: “This Diwali [Hindu festival celebrated this year on October 19] has been great for the film industry. Golmaal Again and Secret Superstar have become super hit! Judwaa 2 also did really well two weeks ago, so now I feel good phase arrived in the industry,” he said.
The actor is hoping the good phase continues with Padmavati and Tiger Zinda Hai.
However, Khan says box-office numbers aren’t the only things that determine whether a movie is succesful.
“Box-office numbers are just one yardstick about the success of a film. If you see the numbers, we have earned double than the budget of the film. Normally, the film which recover it’s cost is called a hit, then this film should be called a super hit,” he said.
Khan will next be seen in Thugs of Hindostan.
