WIT Talks | Ep 96 | ബൾട്ടി (2025) | Director Unni Sivalingam, Actor Shiva Hariharan #shanenigam

In Episode 96, John Joe, Deepak Mohan, and Aneez M Latheef — with Rinshad Kuruniyan working his magic behind the camera — welcome the director of the blockbuster multilingual film Balti (2025), Unni Sivalingam, and actor Shiva Hariharan! Shiva becomes the first-ever guest to make a comeback on WIT Talks, and being John’s classmate from ActLab (and now a successful actor while John’s still chasing film offers 😜), the group doesn’t miss a chance to roast him. Unni and Shiva take us through their inspiring journey — from making short films together to creating Balti, their deep friendship, quirks, and creative chemistry. They share how Unni’s obsession with action shaped the film, the challenges of executing it in a single, unbroken schedule, and how the dedication of the cast and crew (including Shane Nigam and producer Santhosh T Kuruvilla) made it all possible. Packed with laughter, friendship, and behind-the-scenes gold, this one’s a full-on filmmaking masterclass you shouldn’t miss! #witcrew #wittalks #baltimovie #shanenigam #unnishivalingam #shivahariharan #malayalampodcast #moviepodcast #moviemaking #filmmaking #malayalammovie #behindthescenes About WIT Talks: WIT Talks is an unfiltered, brutally honest, and hilariously entertaining Malayalam podcast where standup comedians John Joe, Mahadevan A R, Deepak Mohan, and Aneez M Latheef—along with their manager Rinshad Kuruniyan—sit down for raw, no-holds-barred discussions on everything under the sun.
