In an interview with ABS-CBN News last January 20, Alix revealed that Nora has signed on for the role of the villain in his latest film project Kontrabida which is a tribute to the late actress Anita Linda who passed away last year at the age of 95. The film’s lead character who plays a troubled actress is also named Anita. This will be the first time in Nora’s career that has spanned over five decades that she will be playing the role of an anti-hero.

In the exclusive interview, Alix shared how Nora said yes to the project. “Sabi niya first time niyang makakagawa ng all-out kontrabida role, dahil 'yung mga dati puro gray roles na character. Excited siya dito and I am glad she is taking the risk," Alix said.
