Richa Chadha's first look as 'Shakeela' for upcoming biopic 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 shakeelas 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 its gratifying that I get to grow with the real character on celluloid. Shakeela is still a legend and we wish to do complete justice to her when the film is ready."
