Maya is not a new actress. She just changed her name from Sheela to Maya. Sheela in the new name Maya is a busy actress in Telugu who is debuting in Malayalam through Mayabazaar opposite Mammootty.
It is quite obvious why she has changed her name. She does not want to be confused with the veteran actress Sheela who is still active in the Malayalam film industry. Then why did she opt for the particular name Maya? Well, it is because her character’s name in Mayabazaar is Maya.
Sheela or rather Maya was introduced in to films as a child artist. She made her debut in Telugu playing the lead in Hari Gopalakrishna Murthy's Seethakoka Chiluka in 2006. She has also acted in Tamil. Her films in Tamil and Telugu include Vedha, Kanna, Ilavattom, Arindhum Ariyamalum, Seethakoka Chiluka and Cheena Thana.
