Looks like YouTube star, Lilly Singh a.k.a "Superwoman" is ready for her big screen debut with her documentary, "A Trip to Unicorn Island."

Lilly Singh who is popularly known by her YouTube username "Superwoman" (styled "IISuperwomanII) is all set for her own feature film. The Indian-Canadian YouTube sensation has shared a sneak peak of the upcoming film, "A Trip to Unicorn Island."

The sneak peak debuted at VidCon Friday, July 24.

Talking about her upcoming project, Singh told EW that the project is "very close to my heart."

The film revolves around the trials and tribulations of Lilly's life and how she makes the decision to be really happy. "How can I tell this story of not just my tour but my life in general to people that came to the show or couldn't come to the show," she noted.

Lilly Singh admitted that she didn't want to "make it a video" simply because she wanted to surpass the audience she has (a whopping 6 million subscriber on YouTube). Apparently she wanted it to be in a storytelling style so that the audience could "come on a journey through my life framed through my tour."

Just like her hit YouTube videos, Lilly's tour encompass all aspect of entertainment including comedy, music and even a candid discussions about her family life and how she struggled through depression.

Another report from The Indian Express notes that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will make an appearance in the comedienne's upcoming documentary. Johnson will chronicle Lilly's world tour journey and life.

Singh expressed her love for "The People's Champ" in the "Draw My Life" video and just two years after the video was published, the two have become friends.

"I've been a huge fan of Dwayne for as long as I can remember," Singh said further adding that he is her childhood hero. After Lilly's fans bombarded "The Rock" tweets, the former WWE world heavyweight champion tweeted her back and that's how the two began a digital relationship.

As far as her success is concerned, the motivational speaker says that it surprises her.

"It's overwhelming. I could do the answer that everyone says: It's so wonderful," she said.

Singh says that she tries to be "authentic" while speaking on the stage and hopes that the audience relates to her. Talking about this tour, Singh added that in addition to music, comedy and inspiration, the tour told the story of her life in two hours.
