Kushi, a fan-favourite romance drama that completed 25 years in May, is all set to return to the big screen. The SJ Suryah-directed film, starring Vijay and Jyothika, will be re-released in theatres on September 25.
Distribution company Sakthi Film Factory announced on Monday (September 15) that it has partnered with AM Rathnam to re-release the film. Notably, Sakthi Film Factor had also re-released Rathnam’s 2004 Vijay-starrer, the blockbuster Ghilli, in 2024, which turned out to be one of the most profitable re-releases in Tamil cinema.
The story of Kushifollows two young college-goers, Shiva (Vijay) and Jenny (Jyothika), whose love-hate friendship blossoms into romance. Widely considered as one of the best Tamil romcoms of the 2000s, the film’s soundtrack by composer Deva has had a following of its own.
The cast of the film also features Vivekh, Mumtaj, Vijayakumar, and Nizhalgal Ravi. Late cinematographer-director Jeeva served as the cinematographer, while B Lenin and VT Vijayan were in charge of the editing.
