After Prithviraj, it is Naren who has successfully managed to establish himself in Tamil cinema.

His Chithiram Pesuthadi in Tamil became a big hit. He is now acting in a couple of Tamil movies namely, Palli Koodam and Nenjirukkum Varai.

Meanwhile, his film Classmates in Malayalam became a huge hit and he has got some plump offers here too.

Naren plays a prominent role in Shyama Prasad's Ore Kadal. Though Mammootty is the hero, Naren shares the screen with him and enjoys an equal footage.

Says Shyama Prasad, "Naren has a significant role to play in the movie. He has impressed all of us in the crew with his subtle performance."

He is also contemplating to do a movie in Telugu.
