Written for the screen and directed by Kay Cannon with covers of songs written by some of the celebrated musical artists of all time, Cinderella has an all-star cast that includes Idina Menzel, Minnie Driver, Nicholas Galitzine, with Billy Porter and Pierce Brosnan.

The trailer transcends you to a world where the princess is no more longing for her Prince Charming to rescue her, this time the story of Cinderella is different. Chasing her big dreams and breaking the shackles of set notions, our princess Camila Cabello will realise what she dreams of and that's how this new-age fairytale centres around the woman who takes the reins of her life into her own hands!

A Familiar Classic with a Modern Take

Amazon Prime Video's Cindrella is a traditional tale of Cinderella where the stepmother, step-sisters, a Prince, Fairy Godmother and Cinderella herself remain in contrast but what changes is that it has now gotten a modern take to it. The Princess has big dreams and aspirations and she is going to achieve all that regardless of what comes in the way. She's no more a damsel in distress and the modern take has her Fab-G by her side.

Power suits on Cinderella & don't miss the glass heels!

Oh! Such super cool outfits keeping in check the modern style statements. Apart from the classic Cinderella princess-y gowns, the film will also see Camila Cabello in power suits, her Fab-G in extravagant ensembles. These outfits are something everyone is going to watch out for and take inspiration from - well, who runs the world?

Unconventional and interesting Characters

The film will see Billy Porter in the role of Fab-G. The character of Fairy Godmother from the traditional tale of Cinderella gets a modern twist as well, this time it's a fabulous Godmother aka Fab-G and we are in awe of how Billy nails it!

A musical like never before!

The musically driven film will bring along a story that has been here for ages but with a fresh zing. It's going to be worth a watch as the grandeur, musicals and ensemble cast will dazzle together on screens but not in the conventional sense of it but this too is new-age and we are excited! Amazon Prime Video brings a musical like never before in this modern take of 'Cinderella'.

A fairytale you thought you knew but this time it's more than just Cinderella getting her Prince. So, watch out! You think you know all about Cinderella but wait until you watch this masterpiece on Amazon Prime Video.
