When it comes to stardom and popularity, there is no question about Aamir Khan's ability to pull crowds into theaters in India, but lately, the Indian super star is getting a huge fan following from china. All started when Aamir's previous year's mega hit Dangal got released in China. As usual, the movie was a decent hit in india, but surprisingly, the movie took the China box office by storm. Dangal became the highest grossing Indian film in China within weeks of its release in May 2017.
The huge success of Dangal in China made things easier for Amir's next movie Secret Superstar. Obviously, it got more releasing centers in china and is off to a great start in China. The film, starring Zaira Wasim in lead role, pocketed Rs. 174 crore in the opening weekend beating Aamir's Dangal's opening weekend record in China from May last year. rade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted: "Secret Superstar packs a solid punch in its opening weekend in China. Close to Rs. 175 crore in three days." The opening weekend collection of Secret Superstar in India was merely Rs. 30 crore. For Secret Superstar, which was made on a budget of Rs. 15 crore, this is as Taran Adarsh puts it: "Mind-boggling indeed."
Secret Superstar is the story of Insia Malik (Zaira Wasim), who fights against an oppressive society to become a successful singer against all odds. Advait Chandan is the director of Secret Superstar.
After seeing the success story of Aamir movies in China, another Indian Super Star Salman Khan is planning to release his 2015 movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
