Pawan Kalyan in Kushi

It seems to be the season of re-releases. After Superstar Rajinikanth's re-release on the occasion of his birthday, Tollywood star Pawan Kalyan's romantic entertainer Kushi is all set to have its re-release, too. Kushi, a romantic drama released in 2001, was a defining moment in Pawan Kalyan’s career and catapulted him to the level of fame he now enjoys. AM Rathnam served as producer for the film that SJ Suryah directed under Sri Surya Movies.

Producer AM Rathnam has decided to join the bandwagon of re-releasing classic films in 4K resolution now that the trend has gained traction. In time for New Year’s Eve, the makers will be releasing the 4K version of ‘Kushi’ with 5.1 Dolby Audio. The massive release has already been planned by Pawan Kalyan’s fans. Taking to his social media handle, SJ Suryah wrote, "A Blockbuster for Ages, An OG Love Saga. Re-live Evergreen Romance Enjoy once again the ever-lasting Magic of love #Kushi, from 31 Dec in theatres near you! #KushiReRelease @PawanKalyan @iam_SJSuryah @bhumikachawlat @pcsreeram #ManiSharma @AMRathnamOfl (sic)."

The music for Kushi was a huge success, thanks to composer Mani Sharma. The plot, which featured Bhumika and Pawan Kalyan as the leads, revolved around the protagonists’ pride. While PC Sreeram had done the cinematography, B Lenin, VT Vijayan and Kola Bhaskar handled the editing. This was SJ Suryah's second film as a director after his debut with Ajith's Vaali. Interestingly, Jyotika had done a special appearance in the film that starred Simran as the leading lady.

Kushi is a remake of the Tamil film of the same name. The Tamil version starred Vijay and Jyotika in the lead along with Mumtaj, Shilpa Shetty, Vijayakumar, Vivek and Nizhalgal Ravi as part of the star cast. Music by Deva was a massive hit. The film was remade in Hindi as Khushi and Kannada as Eno Onthara.
