Shakeela, the tall and chubby lady made many men to get sleepless nights through her B grade movies in Malayalam. She created a big sensation in late nineties and early years of new millennium in malluwood. At a particular juncture, she embarrassed the superstars like Mamooty and Mohanlal as the movies of those heroes were failed at the box office while Shakeela's movies were proved to be hits and super hits.
However, due to a series of agitations against her B grade movies, she had to give up acting in those kind of movies. Meanwhile, she was success in grabbing the opportunities to play comic roles in some of the Telugu and Tamil movies. She acted in Pawan Kalyan's 'Bangaram' and Mahesh Babu's 'Nijam'. Off late, she was not seen in any movie in Telugu. Perhaps, she is busy in other commitments.
