supporting actress.
Shakeela's first movie was a Tamil soft porn movie named "Playgirls",
in which Silk Smitha was the leading actress. After that she performed in many
B graded movies. Her super hit film was kinnarathumpikal in Malayalam, which
brought her under publicity. She had become popular by performing in B grade Malayalam
films at a time when Malayalam film industry was going through a recession (All the films were flopping and the industry
was fast losing its appeal).
The strict censor rules in other Indian states helped
the B grade movie makers to focus in Malayalam, and were later dubbed in to
other Indian languages.
After the censor rules were tightened in Malayalam, the
B-Grade movie business got declined. Shakeela has featured in over 100 films in
Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, kannanda and Telugu in various roles.
