As Thalapathy Vijay fans await the release of his political action drama ‘Jana Nayagan’ this January, they are in for a nostalgic treat. The actor’s iconic romantic comedy ‘Kushi’, co-starring Jyotika, is set to re-release in theatres on September 25, 2025, marking 25 years since its original release.

Originally released on May 19, 2000, ‘Kushi’ was written and directed by SJ Suryah. The film revolves around Jenny and Shiva, two college students from contrasting backgrounds who initially share a friendship filled with misunderstandings, only to gradually fall in love.

Produced by AM Rathnam, the Tamil film was initially planned to release alongside its Telugu version starring Pawan Kalyan, which eventually released a year later in 2001 due to production delays. Upon its release, Vijay and Jyotika’s ‘Kushi’ received positive reviews from critics and became a huge commercial success.

Billed as his final film before shifting focus to politics, the film features Pooja Hegde as the female lead and Bobby Deol as the antagonist, alongside Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, and Priyamani in pivotal roles. The film is slated for pongal release on January 9, 2026.
