What's the story

The release date of Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Deverakonda's upcoming multilingual film Kushi has been announced by its makers. Directed by Shiva Nirvana, the film is arriving on December 23, 2022. Along with the announcement of the release date, the makers also shared the actors' first look. Kushi will be released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. Here's more about it.

Context

Why does this story matter?

Ruth Prabhu and Deverakonda last collaborated on the blockbuster Mahanati (2018). So, seeing them together on screen again will definitely be a treat. The poster hints that the film will be an interesting romantic drama. Thus, it is an important one for the Arjun Reddy star as his last romantic film that performed well at the box office was 2019's Dear Comrade.

Observation

What does the poster show?

We can't help but notice that the color pink dominates the poster. Ruth Prabhu's saree is pink and we can also see a pink color explosion happening in the background. On the other hand, Deverakonda is seen in Kashmiri attire. The outfits of the lead actors are tied in a knot. And, we see lots of flower petals and white pigeons.

Anticipation

Is 'Kushi' based on Tamil blockbuster 'Roja'?

Reportedly, the upcoming film will be based on Mani Ratnam's 1992 Tamil romantic drama Roja. Hearsay has that Nirvana has reworked the script to make it appealing for the present generation. And, the poster also strikes a chord with Roja. Meanwhile, the production of Kushi began in Hyderabad in April with a formal pooja and the first leg of shooting is underway in Kashmir.
