Luísa Arraes Faces Online Criticism Over Casting as Cássia Eller
Actress Luísa Arraes, 32, was announced as the lead in the upcoming biopic "Cássia – O Filme" about Brazilian rock singer Cássia Eller. Arraes said the announcement sparked an unexpectedly strong reaction online, with many praising the choice and others questioning her suitability, especially because she has been dating Chico Chico, Cássia Eller’s only son, since 2024. She described the backlash as “Foi forte” and recalled becoming “famosa do nada”. To prepare, Arraes is taking daily singing and guitar lessons and reviewing interviews and archival footage of Eller. She has stopped following social‑media comments, calling the internet “very without law, a deep web”. Production by Migdal Filmes, co‑produced with H2O Films and Diadorim Ideias, plans to begin filming in October 2026. The film will trace Eller’s rise, family life and iconic performances, including her 2001 Rock in Rio show.
