Just a few days ago, the makers of one of the most
anticipated biopics of 2019 released the
logo of the film with a controversial tag line , ‘Not A Porn Star’ clearly
emphasising the perspective of the film. ‘Shakeela’ 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.
Even though she was known primarily for her roles
in adult films, her phenomenal success made her several enemies and said to
have caused ripples in the male dominated industry of the time. She was an
unlikely superstar whose films were translated into foreign languages like
Chinese and Russian in her prime. Her box office was often responsible for
helping cinema halls survive in B and C towns in the South.
The first look poster of the film which has the
impeccable actress, Richa Chadha playing the titular lead has been released.
Covered in authentic gold jewellery , which is a staple element of glamour in
Kerala, Richa looks convincing as Shakeela Khan.
Interestingly the actress stands defiant in the
face of the insults that are scribbled on the wall behind her. The slurs refer
to her skin colour, body and religious faith along with some obscene
illustrations that have been scratched out. Looks like the director Indrajit
Lankesh is cautious and doesn’t want to be accused of ‘whitewashing’ the truth
as had happened in the case of a recent blockbuster. Despite it all, Shakeela
meets your eye, looking into the lens with confidence.
The film which has been produced by Magic Cinemas
and Yoddhas Entertainment is now all set to release in Summer 2019.
