Nagarjuna, producer Srinivasaa Chitturi are seen wishing the director and cutting the cake with him in the stills released today. The makers are shooting at an undisclosed location after erecting a grand, vibrant set. Composer MM Keeravaani is reuniting with Nagarjuna after many years with Naa Saami Ranga. Their previous collaboration was for the devotional drama Om Namo Venkatesaya, a 2017 release.

Before Vijay Binni, Nagarjuna has the credit of introducing another choreographer as a director - Raghava Lawrence with Mass, a hit at the box office. They later joined hands for another action film - Don. Will history repeat with Naa Saami Ranga too? We’ll know in a month’s time. Nagarjuna also recently tweeted in praise of his son Naga Chaitanya’s OTT debut Dhootha (streaming on Amazon Prime Video).

Meanwhile, Naa Saami Ranga’s female lead Ashika, expressing her elation about the response to her glimpse, earlier wrote today, “Can’t ever get over this glimpse! Also, not to forget our charming hero @iamnagarjuna sir.  His looks are just so so adorable. Thanks for the lovely response all over.” She is cast as a traditional village girl Varalakshmi in the same.
