Toronto: Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty takes pride in doing issue-based movies like the recent Red Alert: The War Within and the 1997 hit Border as they allow him to give something back to society.
"Border is a patriotic film and very rarely do you get a chance to pay back to the real heroes (Indian soldiers). That's why Red Alert, LOC and Border are the films you need to do," he said.
Suniel revealed, "Dutta is planning something else and I am very excited about it."
Suniel, who played the lead role in director Anant Mahadevan's Red Alert: The War Within, says Maoist violence is a bigger threat to India than the Al Qaeda or the Taliban.
"Few people realise that this (Maoist violence) is India's biggest problem today. I believe it is the biggest threat because basically it is your own family that's upset with you. When there is a problem within a family, it gets very difficult to control because you don't know who is who," Suniel, who attended the Miss Canada-India beauty pageant as chief guest, said at a press meet on Saturday.
"Right from Chhattisgarh to the interiors of Maharashtra, this (problem) exists... it is cutting the heart from the country. I thought it is a subject which is very socially relevant. If I could bring a change to get the government to see the side of the Naxalites and make Naxals see a side which they probably are not aware of - the kind of destruction (they are causing)- I am happy I did it."
