Kushi: Vijay Deverakonda OPENS Up On Samantha Ruth Prabhu's BATTLE Against Myositis Amid Shoot! (Details Inside)

After five years since 'Mahanati,' Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are working together again on the upcoming film 'Kushi.' Last night, in Hyderabad, they wowed the crowd at the film's musical show. Their performances lit up the stage, which was a great return for them both. During the event, Vijay Deverakonda had an interview, where he talked about Samantha's struggle with Myositis, which kept her from working on the movie.

Vijay said that Samantha's health had gotten so bad that she stopped talking to the people who worked on 'Kushi.' Samantha didn't want to talk about her problems at first, but she realised that telling her story could give other people hope. Vijay praised Samantha's strength, mentioning her struggles and the fact that she chose to talk about them.

Vijay said that he really wanted 'Kushi' to do well at the box office, not just for himself but also to see Samantha's beautiful smile. Even though Samantha was having problems on the inside, he remembered the problems she faced on set. When they started filming in April 2022, they were excited. By the end of the year, most of the project was done. But by July, Samantha's health had gotten worse, making it hard for her to work. Even though Vijay and the rest of the team didn't understand her situation at first, they eventually did.

Vijay showed how dedicated Samantha was by talking about how hard she worked to be at the musical event even though she was sick. He knew she had headaches and was sensitive to light, but that didn't stop her from continuing to act for her fans. He said that it was his job to make Samantha happy on September 1, the day the movie will be out.

At the event, the co-stars put on a lively performance of the title song from 'Kushi,' talking about how excited they were for the movie to come out. Both Samantha and Vijay wrote about the event on their social media pages and hinted that their fans would be getting a treat on September 1.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu had talked about her health problem before, in October of the year before. She shared a picture of herself dubbing for a movie while getting IV treatment in an emotional post on Instagram. She admitted that she was weak and that her autoimmune disease, Myositis, made things hard for her. Samantha thanked her fans for their love and support and said she believed she would get better.
