He made his silver screen acting debut with Life Is Beautiful and became lead actor with the film Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya (2019). He then appeared in the coming-of-age blockbuster film Chhichhore (2019), which marked his Hindi debut. He subsequently played the protagonist in the comedy film Jathi Ratnalu (2021) and the romantic comedy Miss. Shetty Mr. Polishetty (2023).[3]

Early life[edit | edit source]

Naveen Polishetty was born on 26 December 1989 in Hyderabad, India. He graduated with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (also known as NIT Bhopal).

Polishetty moved to England to work as an engineer. He then decided to return to India to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. As his parents were opposed to it, he lived in Mumbai and took up part-time jobs to pursue a full-time career in acting, worked in theatre and performed in plays.[4]

Career[edit | edit source]

Polishetty started his career by performing in theater plays. He appeared in supporting roles in the Telugu films Life Is Beautiful, D for Dopidi and 1: Nenokkadine, from 2012 to 2014. He subsequently moved to Mumbai where he started collaborating to make YouTube videos. He played major roles in AIB and Cheers!.

In 2019, Polishetty made his debut as a leading man in Telugu cinema with the comedy thriller film Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, which he co-wrote and played the lead. He made his Hindi cinema debut in Nitesh Tiwari's Chhichhore as Acid. Chhichhore grossed ₹150 crore globally and also earned him a Zee Cine Awards nomination for Best Actor in a comic role. He then starred in the 2021 comedy film Jathi Ratnalu. The film was commercially successful, with a gross collection of ₹70 crore, emerging as Polishetty's biggest success. He won the Best Actor award at the SIIMA Awards for his portrayal of Jogipet Srikanth. He appeared in the 2023 film Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty as a stand-up comedian alongside Anushka Shetty.

In 2026, Polishetty appeared in the comedy film Anaganaga Oka Raju, co-starring Meenakshi Chaudhary, which was a box office success.[5]
