Bollywood actress Bhagyashree,who shot to fame with Salman Khan starrer Maine Pyar Kiya,says her upcoming flick Red Alert will explore the various aspects of the Naxal movement and will be an eye-opener to the government. Red Alert is based on the true story of a farm labourer from Andhra who gets involved with a group of outlaws to fund the education of his children. "The movie will draw home a lesson to all. Also,the government will come to know that they must provide education and infrastructure in naxal-hit areas.. rope in private sector to build industries,thereby providing employment to the poor people in there," said Bhagyashree. Directed by Anant Mahadevan,the movie also stars Sameera Reddy,Naseeruddin Shah and Seema Biswas,among others and is slated to hit the screens on July 9. Bhagyashree essays the role of Uma,the wife of Narasimha (Sunil Shetty),a poor farm labourer,who desperately needs money for the education of his children. "I play the wife of a poor man who gets involved into the Naxalite movement. The story revolves around the trials and tribulations that I go through when I have no clue about the bigger ideals of Naxalism. She doesn't know whether her husband will return home or not," the 41-year-old actress said. To get into the skin of the character,Bhagyashree also interacted with a Naxal family. "The one thing that I observed is both the husband and the wife were clueless about the agenda of naxals.. they do it to earn bread and butter for their family. My heart went out for these people as they do not have the basic facilities like food,electricity and clothes," Bhagyashree said. Red Alert was screened at the 6th Stuttgart Film Festival in 2009. The film received the Director's Vision Award at the Festival and Best Actor Award (Sunil Shetty) at SAIFF (South Asian International Film Festival). Bhagyashree says she is happy to be part of the film as it indicates a solution to the naxal problem. "Through films we can highlight this issue and spread awareness. In our very little way we can help these people come out of their problems," she added.
