Bela made the announcement via Instagram, as she also denies rumors that she was getting married.

“To the people commenting that I’m getting married, I’m sorry but no. I’m marking the start of a new chapter in my life as I direct my first film ever.”

“I honestly hoped that by this time….2021….a whole year after the pandemic…we finally understand that there are other things in life where we can level up. Not just our relationships.”

On Twitter, Bela expressed her excitement about the project. “Tomorrow will be our first shooting day for 366. And earlier today I got to see the set for the first time, so I took my earphones out, listened to ‘Mystery Of Love’ by Sufjan Stevens and I allowed myself to feel everything I deserved to feel. I thank God deeply for everything.”
