Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha's Kushi, much awaited pan-indian romantic drama directed by Shiva Nirvana will be released in theaters on September 1, 2023, worldwide. The team is currently busy with promotions. Vijay Deverakonda shared few interesting things about the film with Kollywood media.

He spoke about how veteran actors like Superatar Rajinikanth and Megastar Chiranjeevi are beyond success and failure. The actor said that their contributions to cinema are enormous and shouldn’t be judged by the performances of their recent films.

The actor said, "Rajinikanth sir might have four to five flops, but he will come back and do Jailer, which is Rs 500 crores. We all have to shut up and watch. Chiranjeevi sir will have six to seven flops back-to-back. But if he puts his feet down and does it. For Sankranti, he did one huge film. So, if he decides and the right director meets his energy it will happen."

Deverakonda added, "Chiru sir changed the Telugu film industry. He changed the acting that was there, the films that were there, he changed them and inspired many millions of people. So, I think, it is disrespectful to judge them based on their hits and flops now."

He added "If someone like me can come and do a film here, it is because of these guys, who have sustained the audience by giving hits. They have created this ecosystem for someone young to come and work now. They are beyond hits and flops."
