Tollywood actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has made the decision to step away from the film industry for a period of one year to prioritize her health. According to sources, Samantha is currently wrapping up the shooting schedule for the film "Kushi" alongside Vijay Deverakonda, with only a few days of filming remaining. Additionally, her commitments with the project "Citadel" are nearing completion, allowing her the freedom to take this extended break. Sources further revealed that Samantha intends to utilize this time to focus on her well-being, including seeking additional treatment for the autoimmune condition known as Myositis, which she was diagnosed with towards the end of 2022. To honor her commitment to self-care, she has returned advance payments to producers and will refrain from signing any new Telugu or Bollywood film projects during this hiatus.
