Sunil Shetty is a happy man these days. For his performance in the upcoming Red Alert, he has bagged the Best Actor award at the South Asian International Film Festival (SAIFF), New York. An ecstatic Sunil says, “It is a fabulous feeling. In all the reviews of my films till date, a majority have called me ‘wooden’ or said ‘gives a routine performance’. To win an award at a recognized film festival like the SAIFF in New York is a big high as an actor and makes me want to work harder and better.” Sunil goes on to add, “The film is on a Naxal setting and right now, is the right time for the film to come out.” His performance was appreciated by the Jury and the audiences’ too. The theme of the movie has a universal appeal. As everybody on planet earth is affected by Terrorism, External or Internal… The film’s director Ananth Mahadevan says, “I am happy especially for Sunil because his performance is being appreciated at a global level. When I took this film to him, he had told me in his humble way, not to make the film with him in a solo lead. But I was sure he could pull off the character of Narasimha and he did.” T.P. Agarwal, Chairman of Producers Association IMPPA and Owner of Star Entertainment Pvt Ltd was present at the SAIFF function to receive the award and addressed to the media, “I am overwhelmed with the response I have received for the film and Sunil’s performance. Finally we have received an international platform to bring light to the burning issue of increasing intrastate conflicts.”
