success
of
Dangal
and

superstar
Aamir
Khan
today
said
he
wants
to
make
films
with
a
common
theme
featuring
actors
from
both
the
countries
to
help
improve
Sino-India
ties.
The
52-year-old
actor,
who
appeared
at
a
promotional
event
for
Secret
Superstar
which
proved
a
massive
hit
since
its
release
on
January

in
China,
in
his
interactions
with
Chinese
film
personalities
said:
"I
want
to
really
do
a
film
with
Chinese
and
Indian
talent".
"It
will
be
really
wonderful," Aamir
said,
according
to
video
clips
posted
by
microblogging
site
Weibo,
which
is
akin
to
Twitter
in
China.
Aamir
said
that
he
would
like
to
make
movies
with
stories
which
people
of
both
the
countries
would
love
to
see.
"It
would
also
bring
two
countries
close.
It
will
be
wonderful
for
Indian
audience
to
see
the
Chinese
actors
and
Chinese
talent," he
said.
Aamir,
along
with
Secret
Superstar
co-star
Zaira
Wasim,
appeared
in
the
promotional
show
at
a
five
star
hotel
here
along
with
several
Chinese
film
stars.
Reports
said
that
his
film
crossed
Rs
200
crore
since
it
was
released.
Huge
crowds
were
seen
at
the
theatres
in
several
cities
including
Beijing
and
Shanghai.
Aamir
has
become
a
household
name
in
China
after
the
success
of
Dangal
last
year
which
raked
up
over
Rs
1,100
crore
since
it
was
released
in
China.
It
was
only
the
33th
film
in
China's
history
to
cross
RMB
one
billion
and
won
rare
praise
from
Chinese
leaders
including
President
Xi
Jinping
for
its
theme.
Most
of
the
Chinese
schools
recommended
the
movie
to
parents
and
students
for
inspiration.
Aamir's
earlier
movie
"3
Idiots" was
also
successful,
especially
with
school
and
college
kids
as
it
dwelled
on
the
theme
of
monotonous
approach
towards
education
focussing
just
on
academic
success.
