One of the biggest blockbusters in Telugu cinema, Kushi, starring Pawan Kalyan, Bhumika Chawla, originally released in theatres in 2001, is gearing up for a grand re-release across the globe on December 31. Produced by AM Rathnam under Sri Surya Movies, the film, which had music by Mani Sharma and cinematography by PC Sreeram, rewrote all records at the time of its release.
Two decades later, Kushi is as refreshing as ever and is one of Pawan Kalyan’s most loved films across age groups. A special trailer cut of Kushi, unveiled for the re-release, has the taken Pawan Kalyan’s fans back in time, remembering the impact it created on them.
In a media interaction, legendary producer AM Rathnam, known for his trendsetting films like Boys, Premikula Roju, Jeans, and Nayak, spoke of his memories associated with Kushi and what went into its making.
Kushi, the film, and the brilliance of SJ Suryah. Kushi may look like a regular romance on the exterior, though it’s a delicate, sensitive story revolving around the egos of two people. Everyone has an ego and it comes in the way of our lives and stops us from expressing our thoughts honestly.
Pawan Kalyan was a huge star even before the release of Kushi with hits like Thammudu, Tholi Prema, and Badri but the director SJ Suryah perfectly utilized his talent in the film.
