Naresh is one of the busiest supporting actors in the Telugu film industry. He will be completing 50 years in the industry this year, and he is once again acting as a hero in the movie Malli Pelli with his co-star and close friend Pavitra Lokesh.
The film is based on his personal life, though it’s a cinematic presentation and will be released on May 26. Naresh and his wife Pavitra, who is his heroine in the film, have been promoting their upcoming film. Naresh entered the industry as a child artiste and played leading roles before taking a short pause. He started his second innings as a supporting actor.
Now, the talk in the industry is that Naresh’s net worth is around Rs 1000 crore, and it is rumored that he is worth two-three times that figure. When asked about the same in an interview, Naresh was diplomatic, though he did reveal that he inherited quite a bit from his mother and earned quite a bit. He added that he is involved in helping quite a few causes and hinted that such acts are possible only when one is comfortably well-off.
Incidentally, he charges Rs 2-3 lakh per call sheet and, as mentioned above, is one of the busiest supporting actors. He also owns his own caravan, which is the first for any supporting actor. Talk is that his mother, Vijaya Nirmala, had invested wisely in real estate during her time, and that paid off pretty well. Naresh is said to own prime realty in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Another interesting and little-known fact is that Naresh is a sports car and sports bike enthusiast and has an enviable collection. There are reports that he has a huge farmhouse in Bengaluru.
Goes without saying this has made him the envy of industry insiders, as he is thoroughly enjoying both his personal and professional lives.
