Shakeela (2020)

Shakeela is a film based on the life of Shakeela, a well-known actress who primarily appeared in southern films. She appeared in a number of controversial and daring films. She made her film debut at the age of 16 and went on to appear in over 250 films. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, she was a big celebrity. Her aura was so powerful that stars at the time avoided releasing films alongside her. Shakeela is directed by Indrajit Lankesh and stars Richa Chadha and Pankaj Tripathi in the lead roles. The film depicts the actress's difficulties, as she had to deal with a lot of criticism, threats, and betrayals from her own family and the film industry, who were instrumental in her getting her films banned.
