Early lifeEdit

Polishetty was born on 26 December 1985 into a Telugu family in Hyderabad, India. His father is in the pharmaceutical business while his mother is a bank employee. He has an younger brother and an younger sister who are twins. Both his siblings are settled in the United States. He graduated in Civil engineering, from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology Bhopal and joined a software firm in Pune. He later moved to England to work as an engineer, but wasn't happy with his job at all. He then secretly returned to India without informing his parents, and started to live in Mumbai by renting a house and doing some part-time jobs to pursue a full-time career in acting. He started working in theatre and performed in several plays.[3]

CareerEdit

Polishetty made his debut with the Telugu film Life Is Beautiful (2012). He also played a minor role in the Mahesh Babu-starrer 1: Nenokkadine (2014). As his subsequent Telugu projects were either shelved films or replaced by other actors, Polishetty moved to theatre and stand-up comedy.[4]

Later, he collaborated with All India Bakchod to make YouTube skits.[5] He got wide response for his portrayal of an "average" guy in Honest Engineering Campus Placements.[4]

In 2019, Polishetty returned to Telugu cinema with the comedy thriller film Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, which he co-wrote and played the lead.[6] The film won him the Zee Cine Awards Telugu – Best Film of the Year (Male). He then made his Hindi cinema debut in Nitesh Tiwari's Chhichhore. Both the films performed very well at box office.[7][8] He then starred in the 2021 comedy film Jathi Ratnalu.[9] The film was commercially successful at the box office, with a gross collection of ₹70 crore.[10] The film thus emerged as Polishetty's biggest success.[11] Anupama Chopra felt that his character Jogipet Srikanth, is "terrific" and "a charming everyman".[12] In May 2021, he signed a film alongside Anushka Shetty under UV Creations banner.

He appeared in the 2023 film Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty where he played a stand-up comedian alongside Anushka Shetty.

In 2025, He will next star opposite Meenakshi Chaudhary in Family drama film Anaganaga Oka Raju.
