Advait Chandan is all set to make his debut as a director with Secret Superstar, featuring Zaira Wasim, MeherVij and Aamir Khan.
Interestingly, before he sat in the director’s chair, Chandan Was Aamir Khan’s manager. Recalling the moment when he met Aamir for the first time he said, “I remember his first message, his first instruction and also the moment when I was introduced to him. I distinctly remember his first instruction during the shooting of Taare Zameen Par when he called me by my name and requested to arrange ice cream for the whole unit. My next call was to my mother.”
Apprehensive about reaching out to Aamir for the narration of Secret Superstar, he narrated the idea first to producer and screenwriter Kiran Rao. It was during an outdoor shoot for the film Pk when Kiran heard the story and gave Advait the go ahead to write the screenplay.
