Naa Saami Ranga makes for the fourth and final film in the Sankranti lineup of theatrical releases. It is set to face direct competition from Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram, Teja Sajja's Hanu Man and Venkatesh's Saindhav. Addressing the clash, Nagarjuna said that despite competition, there is no point in pushing the date for Naa Saami Ranga as its content is contextual to the Sankranti season.
