Naga, stating that he feels like he has been "reborn" after reaching Mumbai, says that "now the time has come to colour the world with music."

 

Asked how he managed the funds to move to Mumbai, a relatively costlier place to live in, Naga says that people from his home state pitched in with donations. "I honestly received a lot of help from people from my home state. Some even pitched in to help buy me the ticket to come to Mumbai. I am currently putting up at the house of the movie director who has chosen me to do playback at Malad West."
