Kushi’s first single Na Roja Nuvve: Vijay Deverakonda, Samantha pray amidst the mountains in Kashmir

The Shiva Nirvana directorial, which has music by Hesham Abdul Wahab, will hit screens this September

Director Shiva Nirvana, right from his debut Ninnu Kori to Majili, Tuck Jagadish, has the knack of stringing together unique, complex equations amidst his lead characters. In Majili, Ninnu Kori, the protagonists are placed in awkward situations, but in both films, the filmmaker has used their unconventional equation to generate good drama, resulting in a good aftertaste for the viewer.

While we’re sure he’s trying to do something similar with his next release Kushi as well, for now, he has chosen to call it a feel-good romance drama. Vijay Deverakonda, Samantha are paired as the leads in the film - their second collaboration after Mahanati - and the team is working against time to ensure it releases as per schedule on September 1.

Easily the most happening production house in Telugu cinema in the recent years, Mythri Movie Makers, is backing the film. Hridayam composer makes his Telugu debut with the project. Saregama has acquired the music rights. The first single from Kushi - Na Roja Nuvve - will be out the next weekend on May 9. Ahead of its launch, the makers unveiled the promo of the breezy number today.

Vijay Deverakonda in the opening frame is exalting out of joy, standing atop a rock, while sporting a yellow sweat shirt and denims amidst the mountains in Kashmir. The reason behind his joy is that he’s met the love of his life - a Kashmiri girl, who’s offering her prayers in the vicinity and he too joins her shortly. Na Roja Nuvve promises to be a heartfelt, blissful melody.

Jayaram, Sachin Khedakar, Murali Sharma, Lakshmi, Ali, Rohini, Vennela Kishore, Rahul Ramakrishna, Srikanth Iyengar and Saranya Pradeep play other important roles in the film. G Murali is the cinematographer for the film while Prawin Pudi and Jayashree Lakshminarayanan are the editor and the production designer respectively.
