Secret Superstar has taken a low opening outside Mumbai and South due to Diwali Puja. Below are the figures of films that have big stars in guest roles in recent times. Dear Zindagi was Shahrukh Khan, Naam Shabana was Akshay Kumar and Secret Superstar is Aamir Khan. Another similarity is they are all heroine orientated film though must be noted that while Akshay Kumar was a guest role both Shahrukh Khan in Dear Zindagi and Aamir Khan in Secret Superstar are extended guest roles. The audience that these films are targeted to are fully aware of this in todays time and age.  Dear Zindagi opened far better than the other two as the Shahrukh Khan and Alia Bhatt pairing evoked some curiosity in the metros.
