Talking about quickly completing Naa Saami Ranga, he said "Indeed, if we consider the time from the start of shooting to the release date, ‘Naa Saami Ranga’ can be regarded as a swiftly filmed project. This is not measured in working days alone; despite having completed several films within a 35-day window, ‘Naa Saami Ranga’ took us 72 days to shoot, with my involvement spanning 60 days. Efficient pre-production is crucial for such swift work. Fortunately, we executed thorough pre-production for this film. Having a maestro like Keeravani as our music director was a stroke of luck. Three songs were ready before shooting commenced, and even the background music for the fight sequence was prepared in advance. We shot the fight scenes with the accompanying background music. Keeravani played a pivotal role in the speed and grand scale of the production. Every song is exceptional, making Keeravani the star of our movie."
Talking abiut elements impressed in Naa Saami Ranga, he said "I was captivated by all its elements—friendship, love, sacrifice, and faith. It’s a wonderful narrative filled with human emotions."
Talking about prabhala Theertham, he said "Indeed, the story unfolds during the three days of Bhogi, Sankranti, and Kanuma, set against the backdrop of Sankranti Prabhala Teertham. As a festival close to our hearts, this film, set in the 80s, is a must-watch for the festive season."
