About Secret Superstar Movie:
Secret Superstar is a Hindi musical drama film written and directed by Advait Chandan, and produced by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao under the studio Aamir Khan Productions. The film stars Zaira Wasim, Aamir Khan, Meher Vij and Raj Arjun.
Aamir Khan cast Zaira Wasim when she was aged 14, in Dangal (2016). Shortly afterward, Advait told Khan that he was looking for a girl of a similar age for the lead role in his film Secret Superstar, and Khan suggested Wasim. After Advait tested her, he was impressed and cast her in the lead role.
The principal photography of the film commenced on 1 September 2016. The film is shot in Vadodara and Mumbai.
The film was produced with a limited budget. Most sources state the production budget is ₹15 crore (US$2.3 million). Rob Cain gives the film’s total production and marketing budget as ₹25 crore (US$3.84 million). Box Office India gives its budget of ₹45 crore (US$6.91 million), but it is not known if this includes marketing costs.
Zaira Wasim won the National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement.
Secret Superstar received ten nominations at the 63rd Filmfare Awards, including Best Film, Best Director for Chandan, Best Actress for Wasim, and Best Supporting Actor for Khan.
It won three Filmfare Awards, including Best Actress (Critics) for Wasim, Best Supporting Actress for Vij, and Best Playback Singer (Female) for Meghna Mishra.
Secret Superstar serves as the second collaboration between Wasim and Khan following Dangal (2016).
Secret Superstar became one of the most profitable films of all time, grossing ₹858 crore ($154 million) worldwide on a limited budget of ₹15 crore (US$2.3 million), with over 5,720% return on investment (ROI).
The film is also the highest-grossing Indian film featuring a female protagonist, the highest-grossing 2017 Hindi film, the seventh-highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, and the second-highest-grossing Indian film overseas. In China, it is the fifth highest-grossing foreign film of 2018, and the second highest-grossing non-English foreign film ever (after Dangal).
