Naga Shaurya is currently busy with an untitled film directed by debutante Ramana Teja and produced by Usha Mulpuri under the banner of Ira Creations. Mehreen Pirzada has been roped in to play Naga Shaurya’s love interest in it with Sargun Kaur in an important role. The technical crew of this film includes Sricharan Pakala for music and Manoj Reddy for camerawork. He was recently in the news for the injuries sustained during the shoot of this film. The actor was shooting a high octane stunt sequence without opting for a body double and got hurt.

Naga Shaurya was last seen in the hit movie Oh! Baby starring Samantha as the protagonist. The film has turned out to be a box office success with positive reviews pouring in. Oh! Baby is the remake of the South Korean comedy-drama film that was directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk. Samantha played the younger version and veteran actor Lakshmi played the senior version. The film was bankrolled by Sunita Tati under the banner People's Media Factory and Suresh Productions.
