There was a Shakeela era in the Malayalam film industry years before… The film industry which was once on the verge of collapse was rebuilt again when the ‘A’ films of this actress pushed in people to the theatres. But Shakeela was never able to build up a good opinion among the audience as a talented actress.
Here steps Shakeela, again into the industry…! “Ee Abhaya Theeram”, by the debutant director Alex Thankachan, brings her back to the Malayalam film world, by offering her a strong character. Sister Mary Magdalene, fondly called by the children as ‘Maryamma’, is her character. As the name indicates she is a nun who gives and takes love from young minds.
Will she be able to use this opportunity to rebuild her image…? Let’s wait and see…
