Samantha Ruth Prabhu made a surprise arrival in Mumbai during the early hours of Sunday, sparking rumors of her impending one-year hiatus from acting. Just hours prior, she had announced the completion of filming for her upcoming movie, Kushi. Paparazzi shared videos and photos on Instagram, capturing Samantha's casual airport style as she made her way out. Sporting a white t-shirt and denim jeans, she opted for a low-profile look, concealing her face with a mask and sporting a cap. While her visit to Mumbai immediately following the wrap of Kushi raised eyebrows, the reason behind her travel remains undisclosed.
In an Instagram Stories post on Saturday, Samantha confirmed the conclusion of filming for Kushi with a video of the road along with the caption, "Kushi Fin!!!!!". She also revealed that the release of the film's second single, titled "Aradhya," is scheduled for July 12. Samantha shared the poster on her Instagram Stories, which further confirmed that the movie is set to hit screens on September 1.
Samantha's visit to Mumbai comes just a few days after reports surfaced about her decision to take a break from work. It is speculated that she intends to prioritize her health following the completion of Kushi and Citadel India. According to a source, Samantha plans to utilize this time to focus on regaining her health and undergoing additional treatment. In a show of commitment, she has even returned advance payments to producers.
The source also revealed that Samantha is currently shooting the final schedule of Kushi alongside Vijay Deverakonda, which is expected to conclude in the next two or three days. With Citadel nearing completion, Samantha will soon fulfill all her commitments and enjoy a period of freedom from work.
The actress's decision to take a year-long break from signing any new Telugu or Bollywood films indicates her determination to prioritize her well-being. This break will provide Samantha with the opportunity to recharge and seek necessary treatment, ensuring her long-term health and career sustainability.
