He also paid a heartfelt tribute to the late cinematographer and director (referred to as “Amarar Jeeva”) and the late comedy legend Vivek, acknowledging their significant contributions to the film’s success.
“Kushi” remains a landmark film in the careers of both Vijay and Jyotika. The story, which follows a couple whose egos prevent them from confessing their love, was celebrated for its fresh narrative, memorable dialogues, and the unparalleled chemistry between the lead pair. The film’s music, composed by Deva, became an instant classic, with songs like “Oru Ponnu Onnu” and “Kattipidi Kattipidi” still resonating with listeners today.
The re-release is expected to be a major event, not just for the older generation who cherished the film, but also for younger audiences who will get to experience its magic on the big screen for the first time. The trend of re-releasing classic films has gained traction in recent years, allowing fans to relive cinematic moments and new viewers to appreciate timeless art. For “Kushi,” this is more than just a re-release; it’s a celebration of a cinematic era and the enduring legacy of Thalapathy Vijay. Fans are eagerly awaiting September 25th to witness the magic once again.
