Navadeep's abilities blossomed under the direction of Vishnu Vardhan in Arindhum Ariyamalum. Making the most of the opportunity, Navadeep did leave his mark even with the presence of Arya.

That good show has opened more avenues for the youngster, with a spate of offers from the Telugu industry.

In Nenjil Jil Jil, Navadeep is paired with the petite Aparna. The girl with a warm smile has made gentle strides since the days of Pudukottayilirundu Saravanan.

Her plucky show in ABCD won her many friends, unfazed by the competition of a crowd of stars. She has done well to put that disappointment behind and get on with the job.

Aparna says, 'In a youthful project, there is a lot of freshness in the script. Getting to play characters in tune with my age is a nice feeling.'
