“I told Sam that we are actors and that we are storytellers. I felt we did not have to talk about our struggles in the open. After a point, Samantha felt it was her responsibility to talk about her health,” Vijay revealed at an event.

He further added, “She stopped talking to us and she stopped seeing all of us. She was extremely unwell. She fought so many battles. At that point, she decided to share it with everyone, just to tell people that there’s hope.”
The actor, who will be sharing the screen for the first time with Samantha, further added, “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.”
Vijay also spoke about how many people came to Samantha at the event and told her about how she is an inspiration to people dealing with health issues. “We met nearly 50-60 people today [August 15] and nearly 40 people came up to her and said that they were dealing with their health issues and how she was an inspiration. I felt what Sam did was right. I know that she is not completely healthy today,” the Liger star added.
“Samantha gets headaches and her eyes hurt when she faces the light. Yet, she shows up. She knows that all of you are here with your love. She dresses up, she smiles and she dances for you all. More than anyone, I want to see a big smile on her face on September 1. I feel it’s my responsibility,” Vijay said.
Kushi releases worldwide in cinemas on September 1, 2023.
