Naren Kumar, a Dubai-based actor, is making his Bollywood debut in the upcoming web film Switchh. The film, starring Vikrant Massey, will release on Eros Now on December 24, 2021. 

Shot across the UAE, the film is a heist thriller directed by Mustufa Raj. It also features Madhu Sneha, Tanvi Vyas, Veer Aryan and Nitin Marani. Naren describes Switchh as an all-out masala film. 

"It's a thriller suspense with twists and turns which involves planning and executing a heist and the repercussions of it," the actor, who was formerly in real estate, shares. "I am playing the character of Neil Rai in the movie. It's a character that is different from my personality. So I had to go through a lot of changes physically and program myself mentally to train well for this role." 

On working with Vikrant, Naren adds, "He is a gem of a person and a true professional. I really learned a lot from him. The entire team was really cooperative and friendly." Post Switchh, Naren has signed two more films and one web series.
