At just 16 years old, the singer, whose real name is Rattikarn Amloy, will provide the voice for Billie, a teenage girl with magical abilities. The movie is set to premiere in Thai theaters on November 26th. Nene, who gained fame through America's Got Talent 2026, revealed that the role presented a fresh challenge as she had to convey emotions and personality solely through her voice. \"I feel both happy and very excited,\" she told Matichon.

Alongside her mother Alice, played by Hailee Steinfeld, Billie must uncover family secrets that could reshape the witches' world.",
