Bollywood actress Richa Chadha will soon be seen depicting the role of South adult film star Shakeela in her upcoming biopic that is being made by Indrajit Lankesh. The ‘Fukrey’ star recently took to her social media handle and shared the first look with her fans.
Richa sharing the first look wrote, “PRESENTING THE FIRST LOOK OF #Shakeela! @indrajitlankesh @shakeelafilm”
Check out the poster here:
The first look showcases Richa Chadha playing the titular lead covered in authentic gold jewelry, which is a staple element of glamour in Kerala. The actress looks convincing as Shakeela Khan.
The movie is based on the life of the Southern actress of the same name, whose popularity soared after the untimely and tragic demise of Silk Smitha. Her phenomenal success made her several enemies and said to have caused ripples in the male-dominated industry of the time. Her movies were translated into foreign languages like Chinese and Russian and helped cinema halls survive in B and C towns in the South.
Looking at the poster, we think Shakeela will be a hard-hitting and content-driven film.
The film, which has been produced by Magic Cinemas and Yoddhas Entertainment, also stars Pankaj Tripathi and is all set to release in Summer 2019.
