Samantha's USA Tour: Movie Hype and Ticketed Fan Gathering

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently in New York with her family for myositis treatment, and it's revealed that she'll also be promoting her upcoming movie 'Kushi' during her time there. This move is expected to boost the overseas market for the film, resulting in a significant increase in its openings.

However, there's a twist: fans in the USA who adore Telugu cinema are eagerly anticipating the chance to meet Samantha in Dallas, Texas, where a meet-and-greet event is scheduled for August 25th. Interestingly, attendance at the "Kushi" event isn't free, despite its promotional nature.

Regular tickets are priced at $150, while fans desiring closer proximity to Samantha have the option of paying as much as $2500. This has prompted some to question the ticket sales for what appears to be a promotional affair. The reason behind this lies in the fact that Samantha is being paid around ₹30 Lakhs to grace the event, making ticket sales the organizers' means of covering these expenses.

Surprisingly, reports are circulating that tickets are selling rapidly, with non-resident Indians (NRIs) enthusiastically lining up for the opportunity to connect with Samantha in the USA. Her recent photos from New York's India Day Parade and her jogs in Central Park have stirred up social media, drawing considerable attention, especially since Samantha is now single.

Her efforts to promote 'Kushi' in the USA are yielding impressive results as anticipated. Set to release on September 1st in five languages, the film has received a U/A certification, and positive feedback from censor talk suggests that the film's wholesome family entertainment and the chemistry between Samantha and Vijay are proving to be successful factors.
