Allari Naresh to turn director

Life has come a full circle for comedy star Allari Naresh. He began his career as an assistant director but later turned hero with ‘Allari’ and now, is all set to wield the meghaphone in 2020. “I am planning to direct an exciting film with new faces in 2020,” said the actor, while promoting his upcoming film ‘Silly Fellows’. “I am also planning to establish my own banner and make the film with a budget of Rs 4 crore, since direction is a very challenging job. But I will be seen in the proposed film,” he added. 

The second son of noted filmmaker, the late EVV Satyanarayana, has been going through a lean phase and hoping to bounce back into reckoning with ‘Silly Fellows’ as he is teaming up with his favourite Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao with whom he delivered the biggest hit of his career ‘Sudigadu’. About his upcoming film ‘Maharshi’ with Mahesh Babu, he adds “This was the film I signed after the birth of my daughter. It will be similar to ‘Galli Seenu’ role in ‘Gamyam’,” he concludes.
