He said she will be leaving for the USA for the treatment of her autoimmune condition, Myositis.

‘If her condition improves earlier than expected, she may return within six months. However, the planned duration of her break is one year. She is already making good progress in her recovery, and her doctors have advised her to take mandatory rest. Samantha will depart for the US in the fourth week of August (Aug. 20),’ the publicist shared.
Besides ‘Citadel’, Samantha also completed shooting her upcoming film ‘Kushi’ with Vijay Deverakonda.
