Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan set to treat fans with new role

Bollywood super star Aamir Khan is all set to play Shakti Kumaarr, a music director with a largely flawed personality.

Mr Perfectionist’s fans will be able to see him in the upcoming film ‘Secret Superstar’.

“He flirts with girls,” Khan said. “Shakti Kumaarr has all the bad qualities you can imagine in a man.”

The versatile actor has not shied from taking on different roles.

“Shakti Kumaarr is a music director who is going through a rough time,” said Khan’s wife and co-producer Kiran Rao. “Such characters are barely written for any actor.”

The entire crew of the movie was in splits each time the ‘Dhoom 3’ actor tried on a different, colourful costume for the character.

“In his personal life, he is really simple, basic and organic. For him to wear these tight t-shirts, I think even he had a really good time,” said director Advait Chandan.

For national award-winning actor Zaira Wasim, it was difficult to absorb Khan’s transformation from a strict father figure to a wannabe music director.

“It was a mental jump for me to witness him in these quirky looks,” Wasim said.

Produced by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Zee Studios and Akash Chawla, ‘Secret Superstar’ is written and directed by Advait Chandan.

The film is slated to release on October 19, 2017.
