Prem Nazir and Sheela.
In the world of Indian cinema, some couples do not just do films, they create history. There was one such pair of South Indian cinema-Shaila and Prem Nazir. Together, both of them acted in 130 films, out of which more than 50 films were blockbuster hits. Both of them never broke and their bonding was very strong. Both got into the hearts of the audience and also left a deep impression. The pair’s name is also recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as an on-screen pair working in most films simultaneously.
A pair that presented examples
The magnificent partnership started with the 1963 film ‘Kattumaina’. From the very first film, the pair spread such a magic that for decades the audience was crazy about their chemistry. Films like ‘Semin’, ‘Kallichhellamma’, and ‘Velutha Katarna’ are still considered classic for cinema lovers. While Prem Nazir is known as Evergreen Hero of Malayalam films, Sheela touched the heights considered impossible for an actress at that time and she was not just heroine, she came in front of people as a strong creative power.
Start of such work
Born on 24 March 1948, Sheela Celin (which we know by the name of Sheela) made her acting debut at the age of just 13. For the first time in the theater, actor SS Rajendran presented him on stage. This was followed by a banging entry on the silver screen. She appeared in the Tamil film ‘Pasam’ in 1962, where she worked with the great actor MGR. In the same year, he also stepped into Malayalam films and soon fell on the cinema industry of Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu languages. In the next two decades, he acted in more than 475 films, a record that no one could break even today.
Sheela.
Jeet this award
Sheela was not only an excellent actress, but she also got her talent ironed under screenplay writing and direction. She directed films like ‘Yakshaganam’ and ‘Sikargal’, which were appreciated for the depth and presentation of subjects. He was also interested in painting. The actress won the Kerala State Film Award 4 times, she also won 1 National Award for the 2005 film Akhle. In 2019, he received the JC Daniel Award, the most prestigious film honor given by the Government of Kerala.
Sannyas and then great return
In 1983, when Sheela retired from the film world and settled in Ooty, it was felt that an era came to an end, but in 2003 the film ‘Mansinakre’ returned and within two years he proved that talent is not an affair of age. His character in ‘Chandramukhi’ (2005) once again touched the hearts of the audience as Akhilandeshwari. The pair of Sheela and Prem Nazir are not just a list of films, it is a chapter of the heritage of Indian cinema which is still a source of inspiration for film students, historians and audience.
