Though initially compared to the 80s sex siren of the South, Silk Smitha, Shakeela's rather bodacious contours managed to carve a unique niche for her in B-grade soft porn. Her first soft porn movie was Playgirls in which she starred as a supporting actress. Shakeela has stated her ambition to star in a movie someday with major actors Rajnikanth or Mohanlal. In 2007, her ambition was fulfilled when she got the chance to share the screen with Superstar Mohanlal in "Chotta Mumbai"[citation needed]. She has developed a major cult fan base of her own [citation needed].
She has stated her plans to write an autobiography. [1] The deluge of soft porn or "Shakeela films", made on a shoestring budget of Rs. 20-25 lakhs, has ravaged the star system in the South Indian film industry. [2]
