Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan's quirky character
Shakti Kumaarr from his forthcoming movie "Secret Superstar" has been inspired
by Jeetendra and Anil Kapoor
Aamir said in a statement: "One of the
secrets from 'Secret Superstar' is that in this film, I have used some lines
that film actors usually use in their personal life and whenever I meet them. I
tend to remember some lines from it, and I have used those lines while playing
my character in the film.
"For example, when I met Jeetuji (Jeetendra)
for the very first time, I found him as a very humorous person. He had come to
visit Nasir (filmmaker Nasir Hussain) sahab once and I was sitting with them
that time. I was an assistant to Nasir sahab then. Jeetuji said, 'Nasir sahab, I
have been offered a film which has a double role'. Jeetuji laughed and said I
can't do one role properly and I have been offered two roles.
"Further,
he said that it's perfectly fine, I'll do it well and said 'Buck up India'...
The way he said 'Buck Up India', I found it so charming that time that it
remained in my mind, and now also if we meet somewhere, he says, 'Son, you have
a release now... Buck Up India! It will do very good'.
"The way Jeetuji
uses that phrase 'Buck up India' is something I like and I have used that in
'Secret Superstar'."
What about Anil?
"One thing about Anil Kapoor
I have noticed is that whenever he is done talking on call, he doesn't say bye
once, he says bye about 15-20 times on call. So while speaking with him on call
when I say, 'Anil, see you bye', he says 'Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye' in series. My
character uses this trait also."
"Secret Superstar" is a film which
brings out the inner superstar of a teenage girl who is dreaming to become a
singer and how she fulfils her dreams by keeping her identity hidden.
Directed by Advait Chandan, the film is slated to release on Friday.
