While fans have been excited about the film's modern twist instead of the old fairy tale film producers James Corden and Leo Pearlman opened up about what led to the 'new kind of Cinderella story'. Pearlman and Corden, who are fathers of young girls said that agreed that the conventional Cinderella story carries an outdated message. They embraced the idea of a 21st-century woman: independent, outspoken and confident. Most important of all, this Cinderella would be in charge of her own destiny.

Leo told us at Filmibeat, "One day James Corden and I were in our office and he said why are fairy tales all so old-fashioned? Why is no one updating them? And that really kick-started a conversation that led to a new kind of Cinderella story."

He further explained that Corden's brainstorm was a fresh take on the evergreen tale of a downtrodden waif hoping someday her prince will come using contemporary pop songs. Leo recalls, "In one of our meetings James was acting out scenes, singing contemporary songs and dancing. I knew instantly that we had a wonderful modern musical on our hands. It was funny. It was big."

Written and directed by Kay Cannon, the new-age Cinderella story is all set to hit the streaming service on 3rd September.
