[4] Naik's theatrical journey began at the age of 11 when he made his debut as a representative of KRS High School, Volvoi in a one-act play competition organized by Kala Academy, under the guidance of Shashikant Anvekar.
Throughout his academic career, he received several awards and recognition for his abilities, both while attending school and as a student at the Government College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Khandola.
Also, as the head of the planning committee, Naik played a key role in arranging the first-ever all-Goa student theatre convention for Konkani drama while in his final year of college.
Both his immediate family and extended relatives lacked experience in stage performances and held a pessimistic view regarding the future prospects of theater.
Due to its significant public demand, the film was re-released in 2016[8] and sought to bring attention to the problem of unauthorized land acquisition in Goa.
[11] This adventure drama, released two years later in 2018, examines the intersection of politics, crime, and corruption, showcasing their direct influence on the lives of individuals.
[15] Naik invested effort in preparing for his role, particularly in comprehending the nuances of portraying a father figure to a young child, despite not having personal experience as a parent.
To establish a convincing on-screen chemistry, Naik spent a week alongside a young actor who played his son in the film.
[17] Naik's decision to join the AAP was driven by his genuine belief in the effectiveness of the Kejriwal model and his conviction that it presents the most viable alternative for the state of Goa.
Naik's choice to align with the AAP was motivated by the pressing issue of heightened unemployment and the adverse socioeconomic impact of the pandemic on the local population.
