Being Richa’s first biopic, the talented actress sure had an intense few months ahead of her to get under the skin of her character. That’s when Shakeela stepped in and volunteered to mentor Richa with getting the look for the film perfect, along with her other behavioural traits to ace the execution on celluloid.
A spokesperson said, “Richa met Shakeela before they began the shoot. She wanted to meet her in person to get her perspective on the film, get her personal insights. This helped Richa a lot. Not just before the shoot, even now Shakeela is herself mentioning Richa on the nuances of the role, the outfits, the look, everything is being guided to maintain authenticity. Richa is elated to have Shakeela herself be such an imperative and crucial part of the process.”
Shakeela is set to release sometime early next year and the film will focus on the actress’s rise to stardom and her popularity in Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil cinema.
