Samantha Ruth Prabhu to take a year-long break from acting for health reasons

In a surprising yet concerning announcement, popular actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has revealed that she will be taking a much-needed break from her busy acting career. After completing her commitments to her last two projects, "Citadel" and "Kushi," the talented star will step away from the limelight for a year to prioritize her health and seek additional treatment for Myositis, a medical condition she has been battling.

Despite facing health challenges in the past year, Samantha remained dedicated to her work, fulfilling all her professional obligations. However, she has now decided to take a break to focus on her well-being and ensure she receives the necessary care and rest.

According to reports, currently, Samantha is busy shooting the final schedule of "Kushi" alongside the charismatic Vijay Deverakonda.

The romantic drama, directed by Siva Nirvana and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, is set to hit theatres on September 1, 2023, in multiple languages. This film marks the second collaboration between Samantha and Vijay Deverakonda after their acclaimed performances in "Mahanati."

Following the completion of "Kushi," Samantha will wrap up her commitments to "Citadel India," where she shares the screen with Varun Dhawan. This exciting project, directed by Raj & DK, is set to release on Amazon Prime Video in September 2023, although the exact date is yet to be officially announced.

Reports also stated that during her year-long sabbatical, Samantha has no plans to sign any new films, either in Bollywood or any other language. In fact, she has even returned advance payments to producers of projects she was considering after "Kushi."
