B-grade actress Shakeela will be directing a movie in Tamil. The actress was recently seen in Bigg Boss Kannada 2 as a participant. The movie will be a directorial debut for the veteran actress in Tamil.

Seems like the actress was impressed with Nooru Janumaku'  fame actor Santhosh during the time they spent inside the Bigg Boss house. The actor, who was evicted from the show last week, Talking to a leading daily, he said "I've signed films being directed by two of my housemates. While Guruprasad has told me that he's making a Kannada film with me, Shakeela chechi has cast me as the lead in her Tamil directorial debut."

Co-incidentally, Santhosh, who had opted for a name change to Aryavardhan before his reality TV stint, says, "The show's popularity has made me reconsider the decision. I'm going to stick to Santhosh in Sandalwood, while I'll be known as Aryavardhan outside the state."

This isn't the first time that an actor has benefited from coming to a reality TV show. Actress Sunny Leone had benefited by participating in the Hindi Bigg Boss. Santhosh too seems to have taken the full benefit of the show.
