But, he earned fame and a name on his own with his talent and rise to be a care of comedy films in Tollywood. Then he switched to being a serious actor and impressed the audience with his intense performances.

Naresh got recognized with his first film itself, Allari directed by Ravi Babu. But, commercially his first breakthrough came with Thotti Gang directed by his father EVV. After a couple of disappointments once again he scored success with Maa Alludu Very Good with his father.
