On being asked if she wants to play Helen's role in her biopic, Nora Fatehi called it an "honour" on her part. Nora said, "It would be an honour, I mean if the filmmakers ever think of me. As we have so many things in common. She came from a different country and I am too. Both of us were introduced to the world through dance and we have changed what dance meant in cinema. It seems we're mirroring each other. I think I would really be able to connect with that."
