Red Alert for Sameera Reddy
Versatile actress Sameera Reddy, who has portrayed the character of the slightly dumb Kitty of Karamchand fame in Abbas Mastaan’s Race , is all set to play a Naxalite in Anant Mahadevan’s Red Alert. The film will be co-produce by Popcorn entertainment with Balaji Films.
“It is inspired by a true story that appeared in newspapers . Red Alert talks on the issue of Naxalites. It is not just limited to India but it’s a global issue.” says director Anant Mahadevan.
It is believed that Sameera who plays a role of a Naxalite is doing a lot of research. She has also read a biography of dreaded terrorist Osama Bin Laden. She confirms “Yes I have read Osama Bin Laden’s biography. But coming back to the Naxal problem, there are always two sides to a Naxalite. It explains how and why a person becomes a Naxalite.”
Sameera has a reason for doing this film. She reveals “I am also from Andhra Pradesh where the naxalite attacks are a common occurrence. Everyday you will here about such happenings there. It’s a very big problem. I already know about the issue, so I am very happy that someone from Bollywood is actually making a film on it.”
It will also star Sunil Shetty, Naseeruddin Shah, Ayesha Dharkar and Bhagyashree in pivotal roles. According to the director Anant Mahadevan Red Alret has been targeted for the international film festivals. “ Red Alert will have an international version which has been titled as Spring Thunder for the overseas market. It will have a very neutral non Bollywood look. Sameera and Sunil will be seen in very different get-ups.”
