Kantara
Naveen Bondel debuted in Sandalwood with the Kannada action thriller Kantara, in which he played the role of a demigod interpreter. The film has been released on 30 September 2022. While talking about his role in the film, Naveen Bondel said that he does not know what role he will be playing in the film. He went on to say that after he was shortlisted for the role of a demigod interpreter in Kantara, he was taken to the filming location in the jungle and asked to perform his role in front of the camera. According to Naveen Bondel, Rishab Shetty, the director of the film, was not impressed with her acting skills in the beginning and personally guided and helped her in perfecting her acting skills. Speaking about it, he said,
I was first asked to remove my moustache, which I agreed to. And then I was asked to come to Pilikula, and then I was taken to Kundapura forest for shooting. I never knew what my character was. After my makeover, I was asked to perform in front of the camera. Rishab Sir was not impressed with my acting at first, but then he taught me like a teacher teaches his students. The way he directed the film was brilliant, just like how someone teaches a small child, he used to explain things to us.”
