The biopic on the adult film star will release in UAE theatres on December 24 Richa Chadha in 'Shakeela' Image Credit: YouTube After Vidya Balan’s 2011 film ‘The Dirty Picture’, which was loosely based on late adult star Silk Smitha’s life, it’s now actress Richa Chadha’s turn to bring to the screen another South Indian siren, in ‘Shakeela’. Its trailer, which reminds you vaguely of Balan’s film, dropped on December 16 and shows Chadha as the polarising star Shakeela who entered the adult film industry to escape poverty. Her rise as a bankable actress who gave male superstars in South India a run for their money is also touched upon. The trailer opens with Silk Smitha’s suicide and the void she left behind.
