WIT Talks | S02E02 | സിനിമാ അഭിലാഷം! A Guide to Mollywood with Abhilash Pillai

In this inspiring and free-flowing episode of WIT Talks, Rinshad Kuruniyan, John Joe, and Aneez M Latheef host the multi-faceted Abhilash Pillai — writer, actor, and producer — for what turns out to be a no-filters masterclass on surviving and thriving in the Malayalam film industry. Abhilash opens up about a deeply cinematic life journey driven by passion from a young age, delayed by responsibility as he first secured his family’s financial stability, and finally powered by unwavering family support when he chose cinema. After a decade of struggles, he breaks down his writing process, the paths and people that shaped his career, how he handles social media and online review teams, and the strange coincidences he encountered while filming Anand Sreebala, based on a real case. He also shares behind-the-scenes moments and the reception of Maalikappuram—his biggest commercial hit so far—teases what’s next, and talks about his most cherished cinematic ingredient: Divinity, rooted in Kerala’s temple culture that shaped his worldview. Honest, funny, and packed with hard-earned wisdom, this episode is a must-watch for movie aspirants and cinema lovers alike. 🎥✨Listen to our Episodes on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5WX6P4ViLoiXbOI70dLLhGWIT Talks YouTube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGJxlF2M50Bn0YXrWX2zkW-7kYU4SJYm_#witcrew #malayalampodcast #abhilashpillai #moviepodcast #mollywood #cinematalks #moviediscussions #malayalamcinema #malayalammovies #masterclass
