Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is hailed as a box office bonanza in China. Arguably, he is the only superstar from India who has a strong market base in China. His last year’s smash hit Dangal dominated the China box office and minted unprecedented revenues ( $ 193M). Now, his latest offering Secret Superstar is set to repeat a similar feat there.
The film, which has Aamir Khan in a supporting role as quirky musician, has opened on a solid note in China yesterday. Reportedly, the film warmed up to 21 Crores ( $ 3.3 M) by the end of its first day. As per the trade estimates, Secret Superstar is likely to emerge as as a solid hit in China in just a week by surpassing the entire revenues collected by it in India in its full run.
Also, Secret Superstar is set to top the list of highest grossing films in China in the current weekend.
As per the current trend in the ticket sales and the strong word of mouth, Secret Superstar is poised to collect more than 500 Crores ( $ 84 M) in China and is likely to further cement Aamir Khan’s already consolidated place in the China market after his previous blockbuster Dangal.
