After two back-to-back blockbusters like Agent Sai Sreenivas Athreya and Jathi Ratnalu, Naveen Polishetty is in huge demand. The youngster has taken advances from four top production houses of Telugu cinema but he is yet to announce his next film. The actor gave his nod for Sithara Entertainments recently and the project will be announced in a week. Kalyan Sekhar will make his debut with this film and Naveen Polishetty will take Rs 4 crores remuneration.

The youngster took the advance today and the film starts rolling very soon. The other cast and crew members are currently finalized. Naveen Polishetty also signed a film for UV Creations and the project too will be announced very soon.

Young actor Naveen Polishetty impressed the Telugu audience with Agent Sai Sreenivas Athreya. His recent film Jathi Ratnalu is a blockbuster and Naveen Polishetty is rushed with several offers. But the actor is yet to sign his next. There are talks that Naveen Polishetty will soon work with Anushka in her next film but the project seems to have been shelved. As per the latest update, Naveen Polishetty gave his nod for his next film recently.

Kalyan Shankar, a debutant impressed Naveen Polishetty with an interesting idea and the script work of the film is happening currently. Sithara Entertainments will bankroll this prestigious project. Naveen Polishetty also is in talks for the sequel of Jathi Ratnalu and the film will be shot completely in the USA. Anudeep will direct the sequel and Vyjayanthi Movies are the producers.

It was not a smooth sail for Naveen Polishetty in films. He struggled for years and proved his mettle with Agent Sai Sreenivas Athreya. His recent offering Jathi Ratnalu is a smashing hit and the film collected over Rs 40 crores in its final run after it was made on a strict budget of Rs 4 crores. Like other actors, Naveen Polishetty did not sign projects. He is approached by every top production house of Telugu cinema but Naveen Polishetty is yet to sign his next after the release of Jathi Ratnalu. He is said to have rejected a record number of projects.

Two top production houses sent more than half a dozen scripts each for Naveen Polishetty but the actor was not convinced with them. He is committed to these production houses but he is keen to sign a film only after he is completely impressed with the script. Several production houses are trying hard to lock Naveen Polishetty for their upcoming movies. Naveen Polishetty signed a film for UV Creations before the release of Jathi Ratnalu and he will focus on the film from July. For now, Naveen Polishetty is not in a hurry and is not keen to cash on his craze.

Actor Naveen Polishetty’s new Telugu film “Jathi Ratnalu” has received good reception since its release on OTT, but the actor has bigger plans for his pan-India following. Naveen, who made his Bollywood debut playing ‘Acid’ in the 2019 Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer “Chhichhore”, says he wants to deliver good films in as many languages as he can.

“The idea is to be part of films across the country, wherever there is a story I find exciting and wherever there is a filmmaker who wants to cast me. I just want to be the Google translator actor, function in multiple languages. I want to be the ‘Google translator actor’, where the director says, ‘okay, speak in Hindi now’ or ‘okay, deliver dialogues in Telugu or Tamil now’, and I can switch and be able to do it,” Naveen tells IANS.

The actor gained immense popularity with his 2019 Telugu release, “Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya”, so much so that fans had started addressing him as Agent. He feels that the success of his films have opened doors for good stories.

“What ‘Jathi Ratnalu’, ‘Chhichhore’ and ‘Agent…’ have done is basically open doors for so many interesting stories across industries,” he says.

After its theatrical release, “Jathi Ratnalu’ released digitally. “‘Jathi Ratnalu’ is being seen by filmmakers, audiences across India, thanks to Amazon. That divide has been broken. So now if you are a great actor, you can be part of a film from anywhere in India. That’s a great space to be in where audiences are also consuming content from everywhere. A great story can come from any film industry,” says Naveen.

“That’s the beauty of our country that we have such creative minds all across. We are going through the golden age of cinema that creative people can make a great film in any language and with people from any part of the world,” says Naveen, dropping hint that he’ll soon be seen in a Hindi film that is expected to go on floors later this year.

Hyderabad-born Naveen Polishetty is a popular face in the digital world because of his successful stint with the hit comedy series in All India Bakchod and other successful series like Honest Indian Weddings, Chinese Bhasad and Man’s Best Friend. Even though he played guest appearances in films like 1 Nennokkadine and Life is Beautiful, Naveen gained much recognition from the audience for his witty performances in short films. Now, he made a dream debut as lead actor in Tollywood with the latest release Agent Sai Srinivas Atreya which is receiving appreciation from all quarters.

Naveen Polishetty’s humorous performance with impressive comedy timing has been the talk among audience after the release of ASSA last Friday. All sections of audience got connected to his simple yet entertaining role and praising him to the core. The film, made on a shoestring budget, is having a decent run at box office in domestic market and overseas as well. US audience have lapped up the film big time as it collected decent revenues in the first weekend.

With a promising debut, which is surely going to grab the attention of filmmakers, Naveen Polishetty might look to carve out a niche for himself in Telugu cinema. He is definitely here to stay.
