Shakeela Biopic: First look of Richa Chadha starrer out

Bollywood actress Richa Chadha is leaving no stone unturned for her upcoming venture, Shakeela biopic. The makers today released the first look of the film on social media. Shakeela, popular actor from the 1990s, acted in several adult films in languages like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. She shot to fame after starring in Play Girls alongside Silk Smitha, becoming an overnight sensation in a male-dominated industry.

Taking to Twitter, Richa Chadha shared Shakeela first look with a caption that read, “"Presenting the first look of #Shakeela! @indrajitlankesh @ShakeelaFilm".

Steering away from the stereotypical image that Shakeela has in minds of people of being a soft porn actor, the film promised to show a different side to the actress. It will also highlight her growing up years, her influences which the director has tried to bring to the table. Even the logo has taken the other route and put a clear front with a tagline that read, 'Not a porn star'.

Richa Chadha recently met South adult star Shakeela, who she is playing in an upcoming film, in Bangalore. 

On her Shakeela look, Richa Chadha said in a statement: "The challenge for the look of the film but also a good one is that the story traces the journey of Shakeela's younger days to her becoming a popular figure.

"So, the looks span over years and years and with each passing time her look changed. To show that is challenging but also for me as an actor, it's gratifying that I get to grow with the real character on celluloid. Shakeela is still a legend and we wish to do complete justice to her when the film is ready."

Shakeela biopic is expected to hit the cinemas in 2019.
