Kushi to Release this Christmas

The first-look of Shiva Nirvana’s Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu starter, titled Kushi, released on Monday
Touted to be a love story set in Kashmir, the film comes with the tagline the most complicated knot ever. The poster sees Vijay with a cigarette in his mouth, dressed in a comfy sweatshirt with a touch of pink detailing. Knotted to his shirt is Samantha’s pink pattu saree, with the actress all smiles. While nothing much about their characters is known, it looks like Vijay plays a carefree youngster and Samantha plays a Tamilian. Sharing the first-look on his social media, the lead actor promised an ‘explosion of happiness, laughter, love and family bonding’. The filmmakers recently also released a glimpse of fight master Peter Heins choreographing an intro scene.
Kushi will hit screens not just in Telugu, but also Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. The film is slated for released in theatres on December 23, right on time for Christmas. Samantha too shared the poster, calling it a grand family experience. Kushi will see music by Hesham Abdul Wahab, a glimpse of which was shown in the motion poster. Cinematography for the film is by G Murali and editing is by Pravin Pudi. The team is currently shooting in Kashmir for the film, with both VD and Sam celebrating their birthdays there with them. Jayaram, Sachin Khedekar, Murli Sharma, Lakshmi, Ali, Rohini, Vennela Kishore, Rahul Ramakrishna, Srikanth Iyengar, Saranya and others play key roles. This is Samantha’s second film with Vijay after Mahanati and is also the second film with Shiva after Majili. It remains to be seen how the film will fare.
