Aamir Khan's next 'Secret Superstar' will see the actor in a rather unconventional character. The film is a story about a young girl, played by Zaira Wasim, who aspires to become a singer. However, her journey of becoming a singer is not going to be easy as she has to face hurdles which are her father and the societal pressure.

Aamir's last outing at Bollywood, 'Dangal', too was a tale that threw light on women empowerment and with 'Secret Superstar' he aims to do the same. Aamir, in a recent interaction, said that with 'Secret Superstar' he intends to throw light on equality between men and women, a message that he gave in 'Dangal' too.

Aamir said, "This film and 'Dangal' both are based on the same topic - which is changing the attitude towards girls. Treating girls equally as we treat our boys. This is again based on empowerment of the girl child."

Well, we hope 'Secret Superstar' turns out to be yet another feather in an already golden hat of Aamir.
