Kushi was one of the most awaited films in Telugu cinema as the film featured Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in lead roles for the first time. The romantic drama was released on September 1, 2023, and word of mouth for the film has been good. Shiva Nirvana directed this film which has music by Hesham Abdul Wahab. Mythri Movie Makers have produced this film on a high budget.
As the film has taken a flying start at the box office, the makers hosted a press meeting and director Shiva Nirvana spoke extensively about the film. Speaking to the press, Shiva said that the reports coming in are quite positive and the occupancy for Kushi has only increased with each passing show.
He further adds that even though the conflict point is simple, credit should go to Samantha and Vijay Deverakonda for showing belief in him. Shiva answered one question after the other and addressed the lengthy runtime of the film. When asked what was the need to showcase a simple love story in two hours forty five minutes, Shiva says that the characters needed to be established properly and only because this happened, the climax clicked in a big way.
