Shakeela debuted through the Tamil soft porn movie, ‘Playgirls’ at the age of 15 as a supporting actress. Her big hit film was Kinnarathumbikal in Malayalam, which brought her under limelight. She had become popular by acting in B-grade Malayalam films at a time when Malayalam film industry was going through a bad recession. The strict censor rules in other Indian states helped the B-Grade movie makers to concentrate in Malayalam, and were later dubbed in to other Indian languages. The deluge of B-grade Shakeela films were produced on a shoestring budget of 20 to 25 lakhs rupees. Her popular B-Grade films were dubbed and released in almost all Indian languages. Her films were dubbed even into foreign languages like Nepalese, Chinese, Sinhala etc. After the censor rules were tightened in Malayalam, the B-Grade movie industry got declined.
