Mumbai: The first glimpse of ‘Silk Smitha – Queen of the South’ was released on December 2, on south siren Silk Smitha’s 64th birth anniversary.
Tamil actress Chandrika Ravi will be playing the lead role in Silk Smitha’s biopic.
Chandrika took to her Instagram handle to post a 3-minute glimpse of the biopic.
Along with the video, she wrote, “In honour of Silk Smitha’s birthday today, we present to you the first glimpse of Silk Smitha – Queen of the South.”
The 3-minute video clip shows Indira Gandhi asking her aide about Silk Smitha after seeing her photos all over newspapers.

Then, actress Chandrika, who plays the character of Silk, turns heads as she walks down a boulevard, and interacts with a fan who wants her autograph on his chest.
When she is alone, her career as a sex symbol and her past starts haunting her and she falls down as the video ends.
The first glimpse of ‘Silk Smitha – Queen of the South’ is set to Ilaiyaraaja’s iconic music for ‘Mella Mella’ from the 1984 film ‘Vaazhkai’, starring Silk Smitha.
