Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha’s forthcoming Telugu film directed by Shiva Nirvana borrows its title from the 2000 Tamil film Kushi starring Vijay and Jothika (also remade in Telugu in 2001, starring Pawan Kalyan and Bhumika Chawla). The new Kushi is billed to be a romantic comedy. The team unveiled the first look poster, bursting with pops of colours and featuring the lead actors.
