Her films were dubbed into foreign languages like Nepalese, Chinese, and Sinhala. After she acted in several movies, the soft-porn movies in India were colloquially called as "shakeela films".[6] Shakeela hired a body double Surayya Banu to do her topless scenes.[7][8]
Shakeela started appearing in family character roles in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada language movies since 2003. She wrote her autobiography in Malayalam,[9] which covered her family, her background, as well as her acquaintance with notable film personalities, politicians and childhood friends.[10][11]
In January 2018, she announced her 250th film as an actor, Sheelavathi, would begin production.[12][13]
