Richa Chadha is all set for her next – Shakeela Biopic directed by Indrajit Lankesh. The film will delve into the life of superstar Shakeela who ruled the Southern film industry for over 2 decades.
The actress, who was last seen in Daasdev, has begun shooting for the film in a small town in Karnataka called Tirthahalli. Dressed in a traditional Kerala saree known as Kasavu Pattu, take a look at Richa Chadha’s first look as Shakeela.

When asked about the first look, the actress said:
“The challenge for the look of the film but also a good one is that the story traces the journey of Shakeela’s younger days to her becoming a popular figure. Thus, the looks span over years and years and with each passing time her look changed and thus to show that is challenging but also for me as an actor it’s gratifying that I get to grow with the real character on celluloid. She is still a legend and we wish to do complete justice to her when the film is ready.”
