Ahead of the film's theatrical release, Samantha, who went on a back-to-back promotional campaign in and around Hyderabad stated that she fell sick due to these busy schedules and is now down. Support for the actress is pouring in from all corners.

Vijay Deverakonda, who is a good friend and co-star in Samantha's upcoming romantic drama 'Khushi' has taken to Twitter to give her a warm hug in the form of a heart-touching letter.

He wrote, "Sammy, You are so full of love, always wanting to do right, spread cheer, still giving your everything for each shot in a film as if your entire career depends on it :) The world might never know what a fighter you have been the past 1 year, always trying to put a smile and your best foot forward for your teams, films, and fans even though your body needs a break, needs rest.

I wish you all luck for #Shaakuntalam tomorrow. Your will and the love of millions will always keep you safe. It will all be well. Love always, Vijay."(sic)
