Vijay Deverakonda pens heartfelt note for 'Sammy' Samantha ahead of Shaakuntalam release

Vijay Deverakonda recently took to his social media handles to share a sweet note he penned for his Kushi co-star Samantha Ruth Prabhu. This comes ahead of the latter's big banner release, Shaakuntalam. Samantha also responded to the heartwarming gesture.

Vijay Deverakonda wishes 'Sammy' good luck

Vijay Deverakonda shared the note he wrote for Samantha. In it, the Arjun Reddy star referred to Samantha as 'Sammy'. Vijay revealed the actress to be a loving person, displaying immaculate passion towards her work for each camera shot, "as if (your) entire career depends on it". Vijay even indirectly referred to some of the ordeals Samantha has gone through in the past year, appreciating how she managed to smile through it all while giving her best, even as her body very evidently needed a break. Vijay ended the note wishing Samantha good luck for Shaakuntalam. Vijay signed off saying, "I wish you all luck for #Shaakuntalam tomorrow. Your will and the love of millions will always keep you safe. It will all be well".
