"Chinese filmgoers' appreciation of Aamir Khan's films reflect the common aesthetic pursuit of the two countries, which should be extended from the cultural aspect to broader areas, including politics and the economy," Xinhua news agency's report stated, reports Bloomberg.

Secret Superstar is produced by Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao. Aamir's Dangal co-star Zaira Wasim plays the lead while the actor stars in a pivotal role.

During Secret Superstar's promotion in China, Aamir said, "If you tell a story of your own neighbourhood, your street, perhaps that will interest the world audience more. The more inward you go, the more you interest people from all over the world. That's what I believe in because people like to see different cultures and stories of different characters from different parts of the world," news agency IANS reported.
