Actors Jeetendra and Anil Kapoor were inspirations for 'Secret Superstar' role, says Aamir Khan

"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,'' says Aamir.

Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan will be seen on screen in an avatar which you have never seen before. His flick Secret Superstar is all set for Diwali release and the actor is leaving no stones unturned to promote it. Now, recently Aamir revealed that he took cues from Bollywood veteran actor Jeetendra and Anil Kapoor for his quirky character of Shakti Kumaarr.

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. The movie has been helmed by Advait Chandan and produced by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao. It is all set to clash with Rohit Shetty's Golmaal Again.
