Samantha
Ruth
Prabhu's
latest
youthful
romantic
drama
Kushi
opposite
Vijay
Deverkonda
is
going
to
hit
the
screens
on
September
1.
The
movie
is
written
and
directed
by
Shiva
Nirvana.
In
Kushi,
the
actress
will
be
seen
playing
the
role
of
a
lover
and
wife,
after
a
long
time.
Samantha
focused
on
doing
character
driven
and
female-centric
films
of
late.
To
play
the
character
of
Aradhya
in
Shiva
Nirvana's
Kushi
is
a
challenge
as
her
fans
and
viewers
are
used
to
seeing
her
doing
roles
that
are
stark
opposite.
Naga
Chaitanya
and
Samantha
continue
to
amuse
the
fans
and
people
of
the
two
Telugu
states
even
after
their
official
divorce.
Whenever
their
respective
films
get
ready
for
release,
the
actors
are
often
quizzed
about
their
equation
with
each
other
and
the
reason
behind
their
split.
Did
Naga
Chaitanya
Storm
Off
After
Watching
Kushi's
Trailer?
According
to
the
buzz,
media
channels
reported
that
Naga
Chaitanya
walked
out
of
a
theatre
midway
after
watching
Samantha's
Kushi
trailer.
The
actor
was
reportedly
upset.
Squashing
the
rumours,
Naga
Chaitanya
reacted
to
the
news
and
called
it
all
rubbish.
Going
by
the
reports
in
Sakshi,
Naga
Chaitanya
raised
objections
on
a
few
entertainment
websites
for
writing
baseless
news.
Shiva
Nirvana
earlier
made
a
film
with
Samantha
Ruth
Prabhu
and
Naga
Chaitanya
titled
Majili,
which
is
another
a
mature
love
story
that
transcends
from
school
age
romance
to
wife
and
husband.
The
movie
scored
a
hit.
Samantha
is
currently
in
the
USA
with
her
mother
Ninette.
The
duo
will
live
there
for
another
two
months
where
Samantha
will
reportedly
receive
treatment
for
her
auto-immune
disease,
Myositis.
She
announced
a
break
from
work
for
a
brief
period
to
focus
on
her
personal
life
and
health.
Meanwhile,
Naga
Chaitanya
is
going
to
play
the
lead
in
a
movie
titled
Thandel,
which
is
based
on
the
Fisherman
community
in
the
coastal
region
of
Srikakulam.
Karthikeya
2
fame
Chandoo
Mondeti
is
going
to
helm
the
most-prestigious
project.
In
Thandel,
Naga
Chaitanya
will
play
the
role
of
a
fisherman
who
gets
caught
by
the
Pakistan
forces
after
entering
international
waters.
The
movie
is
based
on
a
real-life
incident
that
happened
in
Gujarat
in
2018.
The
movie's
pre-production
work
kick-started
several
weeks
ago.
Naga
Chaitanya
and
Chandoo
Mondeti
went
to
Srikakulam
to
learn
the
nuances
of
the
character
he
will
be
playing
in
the
movie.
Anirudh
Ravichander
is
composing
the
film's
background
score
and
tunes.
Bunny
Vas
is
producing
the
movie
on
a
massive
budget
of
Rs
70
Crore.
