After an eight-month hiatus, Samantha has finally returned to the sets of the romantic drama 'Kushi', directed by Shiva Nirvana. The team welcomed her warmly and celebrated her return with a party on March 8.

Starring Vijay Deverakonda in the lead role, the shooting for the film was halted in July 2022 due to the actor's commitments to the promotion of his movie 'Liger'. Samantha later contracted myositis and was confined to her house for several months. However, she has since recovered and resumed work on her web series 'Citadel'.

There were rumors that director Shiva Nirvana was unhappy with Samantha for choosing 'Citadel' over his movie and had threatened to quit the project. However, all issues seem to have been resolved now, and Samantha has returned to shoot for 'Kushi'.

The film follows the journey of a young couple who meet in the beautiful Kashmir valley. Mythri Movie Makers is producing the movie.
