After
a
thunderous
response
to
the
poster,
Richa
Chadha
has
released
the
teaser
of
her
upcoming
film
Shakeela
amidst
much
fanfare
and
excitement.
Oozing
oomph
and
glamour,
Richa
pays
the
perfect
ode
to
the
South
siren
who
ruled
the
film
industry
in
the
90s.
Shakeela
was
a
force
to
reckon
with
and
her
personality
went
beyond
her
erotic
image.
Capturing
the
life
and
times
of
Shakeela,
the
biopic
traces
the
journey
of
her
muse
filled
with
hurdles
and
discrimination.
Despite
hailing
from
a
Muslim
family,
Shakeela
at
16
entered
the
industry
and
owned
every
frame
she
featured
in.
One
of
the
biggest
releases
since
the
lockdown,
the
film
attempts
to
bring
back
Shakeela's
ability
to
deliver
one
money-spinner
after
another.
Promising
to
be
a
crowd-puller,
the
film's
teaser
starring
Chadha
along
with
Pankaj
Tripathi
and
Malayalam
actor,
Rajeev
Pillai
has
a
scintillating
touch
that
will
tease
the
audience
but
fill
them
with
awe
for
the
enigma
of
Shakeela.
Talking
about
the
film
during
a
media
interaction,
Richa
said,
"I
am
happy
that
the
film
is
releasing.
Hopefully,
it
will
bring
some
laughter
and
entertainment
into
the
lives
of
people
and
this
depressing
year
will
end
on
a
happier
note.
Shakeela's
story
is
unlike
any
other
and
yet
it's
universal.
She
is
very
well
known
down
south
and
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
how
it
will
be
received
here.
She
did
rule
the
roost
for
many
years,
providing
steady
business
to
cinema
halls
in
times
of
crisis.
It
was
also
great
to
reunite
with
Pankaj
ji."
Shakeela
directed
by
Indrajit
Lankesh
and
backed
by
Sammy's
Magic
Cinema
Motion
Picture
Production
is
slated
for
a
Christmas
release.
