It is safe to say that Shakeela’s films were once the mainstay of Malayalam cinema. Shakeela’s films were the only ones that filled the theaters during the heyday of superstar movies. Shakeela was a famous producer of films – Jafar Kanjirapally.
He was a well-known producer, distributor and film operator. But now there is no old glory. Jaffar experienced great financial difficulties. Jaffer has found a new job to climb out of it.
Jafar Kanjirapally is a biryani dealer today. Jafar Kanjirapally serves not only biryani but also delicious lunch. It was Fefka who asked Jaffer to start such a shop. The biryani was initially sold for Rs. Three thousand packets of biryani were sold on the first day alone. At present, a packet of biryani sells for Rs 49.
Jaffer has so far produced only 9 films in Malayalam. The movie Neelakurinji Poothu starring Shakeela was directed by Jafar Kanjirapally.
