It was said that the producer did not negotiate anymore with Nadine and started to find a replacement. Then, the role was offered to Julia and she immediately accepted it. Asis also mentioned that Nadine appeared to be more focused now on collaborations with brands and it was said projects like these pay more than doing a movie project.
