Thanks to the acclaim he received for his neat portrayals in Achuvinde Amma and Classmates, Naren is slowly but steadily climbing up the ladders.

While his co-star in Classmates, Jayasurya, managed to bag a plump offer to act alongside Mohanlal, Naren has been cast with Mammootty for a movie.

Orey Kadal is the name of the film and it would be directed by Shyamprasad.

Mammooty would play the lead role and Naren would play the second fiddle. Meera Jasmine will be playing his heroine in the movie while a newcomer is cast as Mammootty’s pair.

Orey Kadal is Naren’s first movie with Mammootty. Naren is also shooting for a couple of Tamil films namely Palli Koodam for Thangar Bachchan and Nenjirukkumvarai directed by the veteran director S A Chandrasekharan.
