Vijay Deverakonda reveals he was willing to wait 10 years for Samantha to finish filming Khushi after they learned about myositis

Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha announced Khushi early last year. A grand puja was held as part of the film’s launch and the makers began shooting for the film in April and even celebrated Samantha’s birthday on the film’s sets in Kashmir. After a short break, the makers started the second schedule and after that the shooting of the film was at a standstill for quite a long time. This happened when Samantha was diagnosed with myositis.

For more than eight months, the shooting was postponed as Samantha was able to participate in the shooting. Vijay Deverakonda, despite having other commitments, did not show any dismay at what was happening. He waited until Samantha was cured and then resumed shooting for the film. When asked about it, he said, “I can’t imagine anyone other than Samantha in this character. I was willing to wait as long as it took for her to heal. I would wait even if it took her 10 years to get the movie sets back.” Also Read – Khushi star Vijay Deverakonda is all set for marriage; “I see myself getting married soon”
