On her acting debut, the hit songstress said, "I had a lot of fun doing this movie. And to have the privilege of appearing with the beautiful and talented actors Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan in my very first feature film is a gift that I will cherish forever."

In a press release, she added: "I think it's a wonderful feel-good story, and I hope that people will like it, and like the new songs too."

Meanwhile, Celine is currently battling Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) which leaves the body of the person suffering, rigid and stiff. Reportedly, there is no cure for the condition. As it advances, the person is unable to walk or talk.

Sharing a health update months back, Celine said, “As you know I’ve always been an open book and I wasn’t ready to say anything before but I'm ready now. I've been dealing with problems with my health for a long time and it's been really difficult for me to face my challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through.”

"While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all the spasms I've been having. Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal chords to sing the way I'm used to.”
