There has been quite a lot of buzz surrounding Citadel India ever since it was announced that Samantha would be playing the lead role alongside Varun Dhawan as fans expect her to come out with yet another powerful performance along the lines of her role in the second season of The Family Man, which earned her immense praise. 

Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been on a break for sometime and is at present focusing on her health and recovery after she was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition myositis in 2022. During her sabbatical last year, the actress had two big releases in Telugu - Shaakuntalam and Kushi. Last seen in Tamil in Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal (2022) alongside Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara under Vignesh Shivan's direction, fans are looking forward to see her back in action soon, with all eyes now set on Citadel.

Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Kushi is out in theatres and is witnessing a strong audience turnout for the romantic comedy film directed by Shiva Nirvana of Ninnu Kori (2017), Majili (2019), and Tuck Jagadish (2021) fame. The Telugu film came out in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi languages and had been promoted on a grand scale across major Indian cities. Apart from the lead pair Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha's on-screen chemistry turning out to be the big USP in Kushi, the music in the film prior to the release had generated a lot of buzz among fans, and Malayalam music director Hesham Abdul Wahab, who is best known for his work in the blockbuster Hridayam (2022), continues to be credited for adding strength to the film's success. 

With Kushi out in theatres, the smash hit 'Aradhya' video song has now been released and shows Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha as newlyweds and head over heels in love cuddling and cozying up with each other. The Tamil version of the song sung by Sid Sriram and Chinmayi Sripaada to the lyrics penned by Madhan Karky and English verses by Shiyas Abdul Wahab is already a smash hit and is currently leading the charts. The romance depicted in the 'Aradhya' video song in Kushi strikes a chord with young couples and newlyweds and Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha certainly show the love and spark in the beginning stages of a marriage. The film is the second time both stars have shared the screen after appearing in crucial roles in Mahanati (2018), which earned Keerthy Suresh the National Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of yesteryear South Indian cinema icon Savitri. 

Watch Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha in the 'Aradhya' video song in Kushi below: 

Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have been busy with the promotions for their upcoming film, Kushi, which will be released worldwide in theatres on September 1. The two leading actors have been traveling to various cities after a massive pre-release event held earlier this month in Telangana in the presence of thousands of fans. With Kushi coming out in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada languages, the buzz surrounding the film is high and Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha have now shared a new adorable video and having a fun, friendly banter. 

The video shows Vijay Deverakonda calling Samantha at midnight, who is currently in Los Angeles, California, U.S. We see the Arjun Reddy actor reclining on his bed as he rings up his Kushi co-star, who appears to be sitting in a hallway. Upon answering the call, Samantha queries Vijay Deverakonda if everything is okay, who explains that he called her because he began missing her, leaving her blushing, while he goes on to share a knock-knock joke. Samantha, who reveals that it's 1:30 a.m. in LA initially doesn't agree to listen to Vijay Deverakonda's knock-knock joke saying she's locked out of her Airbnb, but eventually accepts and indulges along. 

Vijay Deverakonda is then seen saying "Knock-knock", with Samantha asking, "Who's there?". The Dear Comrade star then says, "Na," for which Samantha queries, "Na, who?". Vijay Deverakonda then begins singing, "Na Roja Nuvve...", a song from their Kushi, leaving Samantha smiling from ear to ear. The song along with the rest of the tracks in the album composed by Malayalam music director Hesham Abdul Wahab, who is best known for his work in Hridayam (2022), has turned out to be a chart-topping hit across all the languages Kushi is releasing. The Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha-starrer directed by Shiva Niravana of Majili fame and produced under the Mythri Movie Makers banner also has an ensemble cast that includes Jayaram, Sachin Khedekar, Murali Sharma, Lakshmi, Ali, Rohini, Vennela Kishore, Rahul Ramakrishna, Srikanth Iyengar, and Saranya among others.

The gods may delay, but they never deny. They never deny peace, love, joy and strength to those who seek it. The only things worth seeking. (sic)"
