Samantha Ruth Prabhu is gearing up for the release of her much-awaited film Kushi with Vijay Deverakonda. Amid her break, she made a rare appearance in Hyderabad to promote the romantic drama. At the musical concert of Kushi, Samantha and Vijay interacted with their fans. While praising her for dealing with myositis bravely and fighting many battles, the actor said he took her diagnosis lightly initially.
Vijay said at the musical concert, "She struggled a lot for the film. We started this film in April 2022 with a smile on our faces. We had completed 60 per cent. Only 30-35 per cent shooting was pending. By July, Sam’s health condition deteriorated. She said that her health wasn’t good. Shiva and I were like ‘You look beautiful. What problem do you have?’ We took it lightly. Later, we understood her plight."
