Here’s the short teaser of the movie that is going to release on February, 2021.

After this severe allegation, Sia soon jumped in and defended the movie saying that she cast Maddie for the role as she earlier tried working with a beautiful young girl non-verbal on the spectrum. However, she found it unpleasant and stressful. The Cheap Thrills hitmaker further justified the casting by adding that casting someone at the character’s level of functioning was cruel, and not the right thing to do.
