Secret Superstar had earned more than Rs 100 crore in just two days when the film hit the theatres across China last week. This assumes significance in light of the film’s not-so-amazing performance at the box office even in India. The success in the neighbouring country appears to emanate from the cult status that Aamir has begun to enjoy in China post Dangal, which had collected more than Rs 1100 crore in China.
Dangal had also won many hearts even in China including President Xi Jinping, who publicly confessed how he had become a fan of Aamir.
Jinping’s comments had come after the Indian government did not find Dangal good enough for the National Awards. Jinping had told none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he watched Aamir Khan- starrer sports drama Bollywood film Dangal and liked it.
