Aamir Khan Productions' 'Secret Superstar' stars Zaira Wasim who was earlier seen in 'Dangal'. The national award winning actress who portrayed the role of a wrestler in her first film has now essayed the role of an aspiring singer in her second film 'Secret Superstar'.
The actress who played the role of young Geeta Phogat learnt wrestling for Dangal and now has learnt to play the guitar for 'Secret Superstar'. The the-two-film-old actor has managed to acquire two huge skills through the journey of these films.
Zaira Wasim who won a national award for her debut film plays the role of a Baroda based young girl Insia who aspires to be a singer.
Aamir Khan who is not just acting in the film but also producing the film made it clear that they wouldn't cheat at all. Therefore, Zaira Wasim had to learn to play the guitar well enough to look convincing as real. Hence, Zaira learnt guitar for an entire year to perfect the act of singing on screen.
The 16-year-old actress Zaira Wasim says, "I had to make sure it did not look like I was acting. There are times you might miss a beat or two. Ensuring that I don&rsquo;t miss it was difficult,&rdquo; she says. But was it easier than learning to wrestle? &ldquo;Both are equally difficult. I was scared when I first learnt how to wrestle. I wasn&rsquo;t sure I could pull it off &mdash; it would not have been possible without my coach Kripa sir (Kripa Shankar Bishnoi)."
Aamir Khan too shared his thoughts about the same saying, "We were clear from beginning that we won&rsquo;t cheat in the film. Insia, the character of Zaira is a singer and had to play the character correctly. I am so impressed with her performance. As an actor, whenever we play a musical instrument, we often try to play it accurately. She (Zaira) has gone a step further and has spent a lot of time with Meghna Mishra (singer) because she wanted to understand how to sing. They used to also rehearse together."
'Secret Superstar' is a film essentially based on music with the lead protagonist Insia played by Zaira Wasim being an aspiring singer. The young girl faces resistance from her father after which she opts to follow her dreams by posting videos on social media anonymously.
The trailer of the film has received a great response raising the anticipation for the film. The songs 'Main Kaun Hoon', 'Meri Pyaari Ammi', 'Sapne Re' and 'I Miss You' provide further insights into the film.
The film has generated huge buzz owing to Aamir Khan- Zaira Wasim returning to celluloid after 'Dangal' as well as the content of the film. The audience is highly excited to witness Aamir Khan getting into the skin of the quirky and colourful character of the music composer Shakti Kumaarr.
'Secret Superstar' is Aamir Khan Productions' upcoming film after delivering blockbuster films like 'Lagaan', 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Dangal' among others.
Produced by Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao under the banner name of Aamir Khan Productions, Zee Studios, and Akash Chawla, 'Secret Superstar' is written and directed by Advait Chandan. The film is slated to release on 19th October 2017.
