Now he has rolled back to the times when he used to give auditions in Mumbai, not too long ago, and now he is in a position where he is delivering hundred crore films at the Telugu box office.
In an emotional message that has struck a chord with film lovers, the actor behind Anaganaga Oka Raju, Naveen has opened up about his long and difficult journey in the industry, as the film crossed the 100 crore mark at the worldwide box office.
Recalling his early days, he spoke about the countless auditions he attended in Mumbai and the many moments when giving up felt inevitable.
