 "Naga Chaitanya refutes rumours over leaving theatre after watching Vijay-Samantha's Kushi trailer")
South actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, once considered one of the most-adored couples in the Telugu film industry, grabbed attention after their divorce in 2021. Now, close to 2 years after the ordeal, fans haven’t stopped talking about how the divorced couple react to things associated with each other. In the latest, several media reports claimed that the Manam star walked out of a theatre where the trailer of his ex-wife’s upcoming romantic film _Kushi_ was being played. Now, Naga Chaitanya has cleared the air surrounding the rumours as per a Times Now report. “It is utter rubbish. Some Telugu website started this rumour. I have requested them to correct the article,” he was quoted as saying.
As per reports, Samantha’s ex-husband Naga, watched the trailer being played on the screens and allegedly left shortly after that. The incident reportedly unfolded on Friday when Naga attended a special screening of the Telugu-dubbed version of the Kannada film Boys Hostel. The 36-year-old actor ‘walked out’ of the screening in between, allegedly after watching Kushi’s trailer, as claimed by entertainment portal M9.
Based on another report by Siasat.com, quoting the entertainment portal, while the south star enjoyed the first half of the Kannada film, it was during the interval that the upcoming film’s trailer was played. This particular incident, as cited by the website, put Naga Chaitanya in an ‘awkward’ position. Although the operator ‘corrected the error’, ’the actor walked out of the premiere after the incident’. However, it remains unclear ‘if the mishap had soured his mood or if he had other commitments’.
Firstpost couldn’t confirm the truth behind the reports.

With less than a week left for Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu starrer Kushi, the romantic comedy is set to release theatrically on 1 September. The film’s official trailer has generated excitement among fans and the songs have received positive responses.
