Mumbai: Bollywood producer-actor Suniel Shetty is elated at winning the best actor award at the South Asian International Film Festival (SAIFF) in New York for his performance in Red Alert - The War Within — a movie that deals with the Maoists, and says he is inspired to do better work.
“Winning an award at such a big film festival is a big high for me as an actor. Now I really want to do good films and work harder and better. The film is on Naxalites (Maoists)...,” said Suniel.
“I am very happy because it had also won the critics award at the Stuttgart Film Festival in Germany,” he said. Directed by Anant Mahadevan, Red Alert - The War Within also stars Vinod Khanna, Ashish Vidyarthi and Sameera Reddy. The film is yet to be released commercially in India.
Suniel, who excels in action flicks and comedies as well, says he has always been keen to do serious cinema. “I am always inclined to do this kind of films. My film Hu Tu Tu was one of these types.”
