Remember the Aaliyah biopic that’s been in the works for what feels like 8239743 years? At first, tadalafil there was a little drama because the family did not approve of a film being made, diagnosis but it looks like casting has been completed and the film is in pre-production.

A potential candidate who auditioned to play the late singer recently spilled the beans on her Instagram.

The actress, named Tristin Mays, took to the social network to call the audition process the most “difficult, emotional and inspiring audition process” she’s ever been apart of.

Normally I wouldn’t do something like this. But a very close friend of mine, @loganlaurice, gave me the courage to speak up about something that’s been pending and sitting on my heart. Today, I can’t be upset that I didn’t book the role I worked so hard for. This may have been the most difficult, emotional, inspiring, and lengthy audition process I’ve ever experienced. Getting the chance to portray someone I’ve always loved and admired so much was a blessing every single step of the way. I invested every ounce of my body mind and soul into this process and I can honestly say I’m proud of myself. God definitely has something incredible in store for me. A huge thank you to everyone who believed in me and spoke up for me in the room. And a huge congratulations to everyone in the cast!#TheAaliyahStory. Like Logan said, you’re satisfied no matter the outcome of things that aren’t in your control.
