Actress Pooja Jhaveri feels Telugu star Allari Naresh has great comic timing, and says that he can make people laugh even with a straight face.

The actress got a chance to work with him in the Telugu-language romantic drama, Bangaru Bullodu.

"Naresh is a fantastic actor and he can make people laugh even while having a straight face. He has superb comic timing. Working with someone like him makes you work hard on your own timings to ensure that the comedy scene remains intact. Apart from being an amazing co-star, he is a good soul," Pooja told IANS.

The film revolves around Prasad (essayed by Naresh), who is a gold appraiser at a local bank and his grandfather (Tanikella Bharani) who is a goldsmith. The story starts when his grandfather lets him in on a secret, and puts Prasad on a path to fulfil his wish.

Talking about the film, she said: "It is a story with a village backdrop, in which I play a character named Mahalakshmi. At home, I am addressed as ‘Buddu Kanaka Laxmi'. The name itself is hilarious. It is out and out comedy! I am depicting the role of a typical village girl who dreams to get married to a guy in the US and enjoy her life."

"She wants to flaunt a happy life to her village friends. The film is about how she falls in love with a village guy and her dreams of going to the US remain unfulfilled," added Pooja.
