A film is becoming a big problem for the natives of Khandala as well as the tourists who are flocking to the holiday destination.

The unit of the forthcoming film 'Red Alert-The war within' has literally gobbled up the whole of Khandala.

Due to the film that is being shot in the beautiful hill station for the past 23 days, the tourists are left with no rooms in the hotels there as almost all the rooms is being used by the massive unit of 350 people who are working in the production process.

The film has a storyline that has been inspired from the issue of Naxalism that has become a very difficult problem to come in terms with for the rulers of the nation.

The film is based on the true story of Narasimha, a farm labourer who in his desperation to make money for his children's education comes face to face with the activities of the naxals, their propaganda and the ways they tries to achieve what they want.

Rahul Aggarwal who is one of the producers of the film told that when the shooting started, the hotel owners were not willing to give the rooms because they did not want to give discounts due to the present holiday season.

Then the film makers started to use the tricks of persuasion and pleading.
They somehow made the hoteliers give them two rooms.

After a day the unit went and asked for two more rooms for the fighters and the subsequent day they would ask again for two more rooms to accommodate the technicians who come for a short duration for a specific purpose.

Slowly all the rooms were taken up by the film makers in this manner and this left the tourists high and dry unable to get any rooms in any major hotels.

The unit of 350 people has been working round the clock to conclude the shoot in the designated time period.

The film is directed by Ananth Narayan Mahadeva, and written by Aruna Raje.

'Red Alert' is produced under the banner of Star Entertainments Pvt. Ltd by T.P.Aggarwal and Rahul Aggarwal.

Suniel Shetty, Sameera Reddy, Ayesha Dharker, Seema Biswas, Makrand Deshpande, Bhagyashree, Ashish Vidyarthi, Ehssan Khan, Suneel Sinha , Gulshan Grover, Nasseruddin Shah and Vinod Khanna are the actors enacting the important roles in the film.

When the number of the unit members are considered the movie must be having a lot of challenging scenes to be canned and is sure to be having a large number of actors.
Let's hope Anant Mahadevan's colossal work put behind this mammoth project will result in a much needed hit.
