Shane Nigam is at work to promote Balti, his next movie, which opens on theatres on September 26. The young actor, meantime, discussed how his film Valiyaperunnal had a profound effect on his life on both a personal and professional level in an interview with Galatta Plus.

'Valiyaperunnal, a turning point'

According to Shane, his 2019 movie Valiyaperunnal was a significant turning point in his life as an individual as well as a professional level. I didn't have exposure to such grounded ways of life till then, so that's when I actually met a lot of people. I had the chance to deal with human emotions and have a deeper understanding of people," he remarked. The young star continued by saying that this film supported his shift from an immature person to an adult.

The plot of Valiyaperunnal centres on a neighbourhood of a harbour town, their affection for one another, and a particular sacrifice festival. This movie, which also features Joju George, Vinayakan, and Soubin Shahir, is available for viewing on ZEE5 and OTTplay Premium.

'Fame is not a comfortable aspect'

The Bhoothakaalam star underlined that managing money and success at a young age is difficult, and we could have a tendency to put our trust in the wrong people. In a way, it is a component of this industry. I'm taking things one step at a time slowly decoding these stuff," he continued. He said it was a tough question when asked if he enjoyed becoming famous.

"I love cinema and was amazed by all of its facets, but the acting caught me off guard," he added. Shane first appeared in a reality show before appearing in a well-known Malayalam serial. "After that, I was given a chance in Anwar, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, and a few years later, Kismath. I went to a lot of auditions, but it's not like I wanted this or anything. The journey is miraculous," he remarked. Shane continued by saying that it makes him happy when people acknowledge him and express their admiration for his performances. "The love of the audience is the only reason I am here. Everything is over if they decide not to see our movie," he declared.
