Throughout the film, the country star will learn life lessons as she's visited by the "Three Wise Men."

Parton has not announced if Nelson is one of the three wise men, but she confirmed that there will be other celebrity guests appearing in the movie like Miley Cyrus, her father Billy Ray Cyrus, and Jimmy Fallon.

Wes Ramey of Dollywood spoke to the outlet, saying, "We will be filming over the next few weeks, so you never know when Dolly or one of her friends will show up!"

Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson Through the Years

Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson are undoubtedly two of the most notable names in the music industry.

According to Showbiz Cheatsheet, the pair has been friends since the 1960s. In a previous interview, the "Islands in the Stream" songstress said they have so many similar traits and she loves him so much.

One of the reasons why their friendship took off was because of their careers as they started getting popular almost at the same time.

"We used to hang out a lot together, different people. Even Kristofferson back in those days! We all knew each other, and we used to sit around and write different songs," she said.
