Former south Indian adult star Shakeela, the only actress who rivaled the box-office collections of several top heroes in the 1990s, has confined herself to cameo roles in the cinema of late. The actress is making her comeback as heroine with the Telugu film Seelavathi.
Touted to be a supernatural thriller, the movie is directed by and produced by Sri Raam Dasari. Reportedly, Seelavathi is reportedly her 250th film. While the audiences are waiting for the release of Seelavathi, a biopic on the actress’s life is prepping up to start rolling.
A biopic on Shakeela
After the superhit Dirty Picture, which was loosely based on the life of South Indian actress Silk Smitha, a biopic on adult Shakeela is coming to you soon. Bollywood actress Richa Chadha is playing the adult star in the biopic, which is a tale of Shakeela’s journey to fame and much more. Directed by ‘Luv U Alia’ fame Indrajit Lankesh, the biopic will go on floors this April and release in early 2019.
Richa Chadha, who was last seen in Fuykrey Returns, is known for films such as Gangs of Wasseypur, Fukrey, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Masaan, and Sarbjit.
Who is Shakeela?
Shakeela, who made her debut at the age of 16, has acted in several adult films in languages spanning Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. Her Tamil debut was Playgirls. The actress appeared as Silk Smitha’s younger sister in the movie. Though she has acted in several B grade films, Shakeela’s Malayalam film Kinnarathumbikal, directed by RJ Prasad, got her instant fame. The movie was a huge hit and was dubbed in several Indian languages.
