As fans of the perfectionist Bollywood actor Aamir Khan are eagerly waiting for the actor’s upcoming movie ‘Dangal,’ reports say that the actor has signed up a new movie titled ‘Secret Superstar.’
Asian News International reported that Aamir will play the role of a music composer in the movie. But, Aamir will not be playing either the lead role or a cameo role, but the role of a music composer.
The lead role will be a mother-son duo but the filmmakers are yet to finalize the casting. The film was earlier named ‘Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai.’
Aamir’s manager, Advait Chandan, will debut as a director with the film. Amit Trivedi has been roped in as the music composer of the film.
Aamir is currently shooting for ‘Dangal’ in which the actor is portraying the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, who taught wrestling to his daughters Babita Kumari and Geeta Phogat. Geeta was India’s first female wrestler to win at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, where she clinched the gold medal (55 kg) while Babita won the silver (51 kg).
Aamir plays both the younger and older characters of Phogat in the film, and he had put on weight up to 95 kilos to play the older part and is currently in the process of bringing it down to around 70 kilos.
“Dangal” is scheduled to release on December 23.
