Allari Naresh is known for some of the highly successful Telugu comedies Sudigadu, Seema Sastri and Bendu Apparao RMP, among others. Naresh is a supportive co-actor as well. She added, "Comedy comes to him naturally and there have been so many instances on the sets when we all laughed so much. He is a natural and working with him definitely helped me to understand the genre better."

Sharmila Mandre continued, "I'm still learning Telugu, therefore I find it difficult to follow most words. Thanks to Naresh, I didn't have any problem on the sets because in almost all scenes he would take effort to explain to me before we shot it. Not all actors take time and effort to help their co-stars, but Naresh is an exception. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him."
