In one of the pictures, Turkish actor-director Nuri Bilge Ceylan can also be seen. Some reports suggest that Jackie is also the festival’s promotional ambassador.

Aamir’s popularity in China remains unparalleled. His film, Dangal, made at a modest budget of 70 crore, went on to make cinematic history and earned an estimated 2,112 crore and contributing to it in a major way was its China release. By the end of its run in China, the film had grossed an estimated 1400 crores. That is an unprecedented number, even by Chinese standards.

Incidentally, another Aamir film got massive support in China -- Secret Superstar. Made at an estimated budget of 15 crore, this film too went on the make as much as 977 crore, a bulk of which came from China.

It is evident that Aamir is very popular in China. However, the actor doesn’t ascribe this popularity to films like Dangal and Secret Superstar. In fact, he believes that it was 3 Idiots, which first the Chinese audience interested in him and that his stardom there was more an accident. In an interview to Hindustan Times, he had said: “My popularity in China happened by accident. Not many people know that it all started with 3 Idiots (2009), which reached Chinese homes through piracy. I guess they really related to the subject of the education system. Then they followed my work, including PK, and even the TV show Satyamev Jayate.”
