Naveen began his film career as writer, director, and producer with his first movie, Moodar Koodam. When Naveen narrated the script of Moodar Koodam to producers, many rejected, some wanted corrections and many questioned the narrative style. So he decided to produce the film on his own and launched White Shadows Productions. Director Pandiraj (of Pasanga movie fame) distributed the movie through his production house. Moodar Koodam was critically acclaimed and Naveen was appreciated for his screenplay, direction, and dialogues, winning the Best Dialogues award at the 8th Annual Vijay TV Awards. Naveen is currently producing Kolanji. Kolanji has a multi-cast ensemble, including Samuthirakani and Sanghavi.
