Known for his prominent roles in web series such as TVF Pitchers and TVF Aspirants, Naveen Kasturia is a well-known name in the streaming space who made his film debut with the 2014 highly acclaimed independent comedy Sulemaani Keeda directed by Amit V Masurkar of Newton and Sherni fame.

Naveen is the new entrant in the Amazon Prime Video original series Breathe: Into The Shadows, which is set to return for its second season on November 9. The actor will be seen playing a mysterious character named Victor in the show headlined by Abhishek Bachchan.

Talking about his experience of working with the Dasvi actor, Naveen said, "When I met Abhishek on the first day of my shoot, I realized he’s completely different on-screen and off-screen. I was very nervous as to how we will pull off things smoothly because off-camera he is very easy-going, he is having fun, chilling around, but when the camera is turned on, he becomes a different personality", as quoted by Firstpost.

Kasturia, who started his career as an assistant director in Dibakar Banerjee films namely Love Sex Aur Dhokha and Shanghai, further added, "I had only seen Abhishek as J, and Avinash on-screen, but we were performing together for the first time, so I was stunned. But gradually I understood him better, and got to know that as an actor, he has an on and off button."
