When Vamshi Paidipally offered him to play the second fiddle to Mahesh Babu, Allari Naresh was in two minds. But his friends and well-wishers suggested him to take it up. It would pave way for new vistas to his career, they told him.

He had essayed the role of Mahesh Babu’s friend in ‘Maharshi’ with aplomb and won good appreciation. He waited more than six months to get a good offer in another big star movie or a chance of acting in a multi-starrer. Nothing has materialized. No director came with a proposal.

Allari Naresh is now back to his usual trials. Before he took up ‘Maharshi’, his career as a lead hero was going downhill, his films were flopping. He is back in the same situation of doing lead hero movies. ‘Maharshi’ has not done any good for his career.
