The film was made for just R 15 crore and it went on to earn as much as Rs 912 crore, according to reports. But the actress of this film left Bollywood after working in two blockbuster films.
The film was Secret Superstar in which Zaira Wasim was in the lead role. Secret Superstar released in 2017 and it was produced by Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and his former wife Kiran Rao. The film was directed by Advait Chandan. Besides Zaira Wasim, Aamir Khan, Mehr Viz and Raj Arun had also played important roles in the film.
