There is ample difference between an actor and a star as many know. The god particle that makes someone a star is not known at all.
The huge acceptance from the public with no family background is very rare these days. That too when someone projects himself as a lead on screen without any power and punch, he will be highly unlikely to be called a star.
But bulldozing all such opinions, Naveen Polihetty proves to be a star in making.
The 80% of openings for Jathi Ratnalu can be attributed only to the presence of him. The remaining 20% can be tagged to Nag Ashwin, the producer.
It is needless to say that Anil Ravipudi's name couldn't help "Gaali Sampath" much. So, we have to draw a parallel with Nag Ashwin's name for "Jathi Ratnalu".
Ever since "Agent Sai Srinivas Atreya", Naveen Polishetty has become the darling of youngsters. His 'simple and stupid' approach was liked by the thousands. The impact is shown in the bookings for Jathi Ratnalu.
Not stopping there, in many theatres, the mere appearance of Naveen on screen has shook the theatres with shouts and whistles on the first day morning show.
Whatever be the dialogue by Naveen, the audience made huge noise hysterically, neither gauging the sense nor judging the depth in it. This happens only for the stars.
With no big filmy background, a young guy has become a star just after his first film. It is a rare phenomenon. All that he has to do is selecting the right scripts and being shrewd with the people around.
As long as he believes in himself and the stardom bestowed to him by the audience humbly, he will grow bigger.
