Kushi plot

The Kushi trailer showed Samantha as Aaradhya and Vijay as Viplav, who discover love in Kashmir. They go on to tie the knot despite opposition from their respective families as their horoscopes don't match. But their marriage hits a roadblock as they deal with differences between them before finally coming together on the same page.

Talking about his character, Viplav, at the trailer launch, Vijay said, “You know you are Viplav and Aradhya (Sam) is your wife or girlfriend when you watch Kushi. Vijay concluded that Kushi is the story of any regular couple, and that’s what makes Kushi a special film."

Vijay said he loved working with Samantha and director Shiva. He told ANI, “The entire process of shooting it will be one of my favourite memories forever. The two persons I spent the most time with, shared the most memories and highs and lows with, and developed the closest connections with were Shiva and Samantha. I'll always find it fun to reflect on how this movie was made.”
