Career[]
Naveen Polishetty made his debut with the Telugu film Life Is Beautiful (2012). He also played a minor role in the Mahesh Babu-starrer 1: Nenokkadine (2014). As his subsequent Telugu projects were either shelved films or replaced by other actors, Polishetty moved to theatre and stand-up comedy.[5]
Later, he collaborated with All India Bakchod to make YouTube skits.[6] He got wide response for his portrayal of an "average" guy in Honest Engineering Campus Placements.[5]
In 2019, Polishetty returned to Telugu cinema with the comedy thriller film Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, which he co-wrote and played the lead.[7] The film won him the Zee Cine Awards Telugu – Best Film of the Year (Male). He then made his Hindi cinema debut in Nitesh Tiwari's Chhichhore. Both the films performed very well at box office.[8][9] He then starred in the 2021 comedy film Jathi Ratnalu.[10] The film was commercially successful at the box office, with a gross collection of ₹70 crore.[11] The film thus emerged as Polishetty's biggest success.[12] Anupama Chopra felt that character he played – Jogipet Srikanth, is "terrific" and "a charming everyman".[13] In May 2021, he has signed for a film alongside Anushka Shetty under banner.[14][15] He will be next featured in the sequel of his previous film Jathi Ratnalu.[16][17] Polishetty will reprise his role from the first part.
