Shane Nigam, who impressed everyone with RDX last year, has given a standout performance as the lead. Preethi Asrani and Santhanu Bhagyaraj shine beautifully in their roles, while renowned director Selvaraghavan delivers a terrific act as the antagonist.”Director Unni Sivalingam described the film as “an out-and-out rustic village drama set in Velampalayam, located on the Tamil Nadu–Kerala border. The story revolves around three powerful local lords who dominate the region and how four Kabaddi players inadvertently get entangled in their political and business rivalries. The resulting conflicts, emotions, and moral struggles form the core of Balti.”With a powerful blend of regional flavor, realistic storytelling, and strong character portrayals, Balti is expected to strike a chord with audiences across the Telugu states as it hits theatres this October 10.
