Film career

2002–2007 : Debut and breakthrough

Naresh made his foray into films under the who direction of Ravi Babu in the film Allari , an adult comedy in which he played the role of an 18-year-old who is infatuated with a beautiful girl. His performance was well praised by the critics. idlebrain.com wrote, "Naresh is a natural actor and he suited the role perfectly. His dialogue delivery is perfect and has very good timing in doing comedy. He has a bright future ahead, if he chooses his future projects carefully." [9] The film did exceptionally well at the box office, giving him recognition as "Allari Naresh". However, his next film Dhanalakshmi, I Love You , a remake of Ramji Rao Speaking , received negative reviews, and faltered at the box office. His third release Thotti Gang , co-starring Prabhu Deva and Sunil, was successful at the box office, which was followed by two flops Juniors , the remake of Thulluvadho Ilamai and Praanam , which featured him in a dual role.

Naresh got his resurgence in the form of Maa Alludu Very Good , co-starring Rajendra Prasad, which was a massive hit at the box office. He debuted in Tamil with Kurumbu , a remake of Allari, which failed at the box office. His next was Nenu co-starring Veda and Abhishek, which is a remake of Kaadhal Kondein . Though the film was a failure at the box office, he received wide critical acclaim for his portrayal of Vinod, a psychotic who falls in love with his friend, only to know that she's in love with his close friend, thus marking it as one of his finest performances to date. IndiaGlitz wrote, "Naresh is more than adequate in a role that is a challenge to even seasoned artistes. He has to kindle detest as well as sympathy. It is a tightrope walk, and he passes muster. The only way for Naresh after this film is up." [10]

Naresh's lean phase continued with flops like Nuvvante Naakishtam , Danger and Party , succeeded by Kithakithalu, a blockbuster at the box office, with critics appreciating Naresh's performance. Roommates and Gopi – Goda Meedha Pilli failed at the box office. His next successful film, Athili Sattibabu LKG , boosted his career, making him a common name in the Telugu film industry. Later on, after two back-to-back flops in the form of Allare Allari and Pellaindi Kaani , Naresh got his next success in the form of Seema Sastri , thus ending 2007 on a happy note.

Naresh played the role of Gali Seenu, a motorcycle thief who brings a change in the hero's attitude by his actions. His performance was well praised by the critics. Rediff wrote, "Allari Naresh has finally found his groove. He excels as Srinu, a role that somewhat resembles what Jagapathi Babu played in Anthahpuram. The timing of his one-liners is absolutely perfect and natural. One has to see the film to believe it." [11] He received Nandi Award for Best Supporting Actor [12] and Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award [13] for his performance, which remains to be one of his best performances in his career. While Bommana Brothers Chandana Sisters and Blade Babji were hits at the box office, Siddu From Sikakulam was an average and Dongala Bandi was an average grosser because of the weak story but the cast was praised for their respective performance at the box office. 2009 had two releases of Naresh, which were Fitting Master and Bendu Apparao R.M.P .
