Shane Nigam, who is popular as a youthful star in the Malayalam film industry, is all set to make his 25th film with the sports action drama ‘Balti’. The film is a high-energy entertainer set in the backdrop of the sport of Kabaddi. The makers have released the first look poster and teaser of the film and introduced Shane Nigam’s character Udayan. Udayan is seen as a Kabaddi player. In the teaser, he is seen running from the police on the crowded streets and then joining his team on the Kabaddi court. The intense scene is interesting. This teaser has immediately raised the expectations on the film.

This film is written and directed by debutant director Unni Sivalingam. This is his debut project. ‘Balti’ was shot in two versions in Malayalam and Tamil. It is being made with the aim of becoming a hit in both the industries. The shooting was mainly done in locations like Coimbatore, Palakkad, and Pollachi, which provide a realistic backdrop to the film.

Balti stars Shane Nigam along with Preethi Asrani and Shantanu Bhagyaraj in key roles. Another special touch is that national and state level kabaddi players are also playing roles in the film, which adds more authenticity to the film. Talking about the film's music, the makers have hinted that a famous music director is making his debut in the Malayalam industry with this film, but the details are still being kept secret.

Earlier, Santosh had announced that the film would be released on August 27 as an Onam special release. However, in the latest teaser, he only said that it would be released during the Onam season, but did not reveal the specific date. Overall, Balti looks like a big treat with a fresh concept, a strong team, and a dynamic actor like Shane Nigam. Let's hope this movie is going to provide a refreshing experience for Kabaddi lovers and action drama fans.
