Aamir Khan has become a popular and much loved figure in China. He has even earned a nickname with fans referring to him as Uncle Mi or Mi Shu. Over the past few years, Indian movies have grown increasingly popular in China and proven to be a potent asset of India’s soft power in a country which remains wary of “outside influence.” Having made $6.4 million on its very first day, Secret Superstar broke Dangal’s first-day record in China’s box office. Dangal, which became a sensation in China and raked in nearly $200 million, earned $2.18 million on its opening day last year. In Secret Superstar, a teenage girl dreams of becoming a singer and fulfils her dreams by keeping her identity hidden as her father is against her wishes.
