Shakeela replaces Silk Smitha

Shakeela never goes out of the news. It also looks as if slowly and steadily, she is making a comeback in Malayalam and Tamil. This time around, she is making peace with her former superstar enemies. In Malayalam, she is making a special appearance in Chota Mumbai. Years ago, Mohanlal and Urvashi had starred in the hit film Sphatigam. The film is now being remade in Tamil with Khushboo's husband director-turned-actor Sundar C in the lead role. Gopika is the heroine.

In the Malayalam version, 'Silk' Smitha had appeared in a very glamorous role. The producer of the Tamil version has picked Shakeela up to star instead of her. This marks Shakeela's return to the glamour genre in Tamil. During her comeback mission, she was particular about starring only in comic roles. Old habits die hard...
