After completing his big Malayalam movie 'Veeraputhran', Naren is now studying the martial art of Kung foo. And indeed he is in intensive coaching as he needs to complete it in a short period of fifteen days. Don't surmise it to be an activity to tone him up to suit the role of an action hero. But the actor is studying Kung Foo to be apt for a villain role.

Yes, Naren will be shortly seen as the villainish character in the new Tamil movie by the director Myskkin titled as 'Mugammoodi'. Myskkin who introduced Naren into Tamil with the movie 'Chitthiram Persuthedi' and later gave him a break with the big hit 'Anjaathe' is almost like a mentor to the actor that he is ready to take any risk to be sincere to the demands of the roles that the director offer.

The shoot for this 'Mugammoodi', with Jeeva as the hero will start from the first week of October.
