In December 1990, Xuxa reached its peak. In Brazil, Xuxa had, in the history of the Brazilian cinema, with the successful commercial performance of Lua de Cristal (1989), a double success: musical and cinematographic. Internationally, after the success of his first Spanish-language album Xuxa 1 (1989), Xuxa was about to take another bold step: the launch of his TV Show, in the same vein as Xou da Xuxa, in Spanish.

2006 was a year of celebration in Xuxa's career.

On May 4, 2006, Xuxa went to TV show Domingão do Faustão to relanse several projects: the DVD "Xuxa, o Show ao Vivo" and the project of the movie Gêmeas.

In order to play the character Elizabeth, Xuxa had to do a laboratory, to better compose the character, something she had never done for any of her previous films "I panicked. The first time I went to Elizabeth, I did not know how to act. Where to put your hand, how to speak. Making Mel, who is the good sister, was easy. I did not have to change anything. I lent my things to Mel and assumed things that were hers in a natural exchange.

Filming took place in September 2006. The first scenes of Xuxa were filmed on September 10, 2006, in the graphic park of the newspaper O Globo, which simulates the headquarters of the fictional newspaper "O Dourado". Another location was a favela in Rio de Janeiro called Tavares Bastos. All scenes involving the favela, from different moments of the film, were filmed throughout September 19, 2006.

The soundtrack only contains two songs: Solidão, sung by Xuxa interpreting its two characters of the film, and Coisas Maravilhosas, sung by Ivete Sangalo at the end of the movie. The instrumental tracks were composed by Ary Sperling.
