Advait Chandan who made his directorial debut with Aamir Khan and Zaira Wasim starrer 'Secret Superstar', says that the response to the film has been like a "dream". “I went to a theatre full of people and they clapped and laughed and were moved by the film. It gave me goosebumps… This has been such a dream response. I keep pinching myself to check if it’s real,” he said.
When asked if Aamir's presence helped pull the crowds into the theatres, Advait stated, "Yes, but it is not just about his acting in the film, but the whole project. Aamir’s presence amplified the film ‘Secret Superstar’." He further continued, "No production house was ready to support the film. The way Aamir Khan Productions has supported the film with all resources and mounted the project, is great. Only AK can do that.”
Advait further spoke about Aamir's character in the film and stated, “I wrote the part of Shakti Kumaarr and I convinced him to play the part, so I take full credit of his casting. In the beginning, he was hesitant, but then he also started enjoying the character.”
