After playing 'Bandit Queen', actor Seema Biswas is all set to play a Naxalite in 'Red Alert-The War
Within'.
"Being it a realistic movie the real problem behind naxalism is shown very closely in it. It showcases what all a
farmer does to earn livlihood for himself and his family and ultimately lands up becoming a Naxalwadi when he has
no options left, " said Seema
She plays the role of Sarala, a well-educated women who in order to fight against the system joins the Naxalwadi
group.
But doesn't it sound similar to 'Bandit Queen'?
"No, it is not at all similar, this film is purely commercial, " said Seema.
But why is that Seema is always seen serious role?
"May be the producers like my serious face, I too want to make my viewers laugh, " the actor said laughing out
aloud.
"But know what, filmmaker Shekhar Kapoor selected me for his 'Bandit Queen' after watching my
comedy play. Never mind, I have been promised by Sanjay Leela Bhansali that he will be giving me a comic role in
one of his movies, " she said.
When asked to her favorite performance so far, Seema said: "Actually all the roles which I play are close to my
heart. I enact it as if I'm that person. However, I loved acting in 'BandIt Queen' and 'Khamoshi'."
The next projects in Seema's pipeline are 'Bhopal' and 'Society'.
