After releasing an intriguing teaser, they have now shared a gripping trailer of the film which will showcase the trails and tribulations of the south star's life. Shakeela Teaser: Richa Chadha Sheds All Her Inhibitions as the Popular South Softcore Star.

The two-minute-long trailer beings with news about the legendary ’90s adult star Silk Smitha’s unfortunate death by suicide. Channels ask if anyone will ever be able to take her place or not. Then enters a fetus Richa who has a lower-middle-class existence and only has the aspiration to get married. But as life happens, Richa is forced to sell her body on the screen to survive after the untimely death of her father. The next few montages give us a glimpse of Shakeela the temptress and her career reaching the highest peaks.

Shakeela aka Richa gives a befitting reply to him in the trailer which gives us an insight on what the movie will look like.
