Kapuso singer-actress Aicelle Santos plays Elsa, the role originated by Superstar and National Artist Nora Aunor in the 1982 film Himala. Directed by Ishmael Bernal, the movie earned the Best Movie and Best Actress award for Nora during the 1982 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
During the grand launch of Isang Himala, Aicelle said she made sure not to base her performance on that of the Superstar.
“Sa tingin ko po hindi maganda, as an actor, na 'yun ang pagbasehan ko, kung ano ang ginawa nang nauna sa iyo. Kaya lagi kong sinasabi na balikan ang script, balikan ang karakter, balikan ang mga kaeksena mo dahil yun ang bubuo ng kuwento,” she explained.
