After the massive success of Suriya's Karuppu, all eyes are on the actor's next film Vishwanath and Sons, directed by Venky Atluri. Anticipation has been naturally high as Suriya will be seen in a romantic drama after a long time and producer Naga Vamsi is highly confident that the movie will be a "200 per cent blockbuster".
In a recent interview with M9 News, Naga Vamsi, who has backed the film under his Sithara Entertainments banner, was probed if the pressure on Vishwanath & Sons has increased, especially after Karuppu became a blockbuster. Replying to this, the producer said his "confidence has increased" after the RJ Balaji directorial became a hit. "Because I have seen the film and it is a 200 per cent blockbuster. Without even thinking about it for one second, people will come and enjoy watching the movie. It is a sure shot amazing film. It is a proper family movie," he shared.
Vishwanath & Sons tells the story of Suriya as Sanjay Vishwanath (a take on his character from Ghajini), an ace pistol shooter in his 40s, holding fort to retain his agility and focus. When Maddy (Mamitha Baiju), a young woman in her 20s arrives into his life, all hell breaks loose. Maddy falls head over heels in love with Sanjay despite his pushback, citing their age gap. The film is expected to revolve around their love story and how it changes their lives.
Besides Suriya and Mamitha Biju, the film also stars Radikaa Sarathkumar, Raveena Tandon, Nasser, Sudha, Raghu Babu, Sunil Reddy, Bhavani Sri, Viva Harsha, Kaali Venkat, George Maryan, Hyper Aadhi, Srija Ravi, Sarvadaman Banerjee, Mathew Varghese, Kalyani Natarajan, Karate Karthik, and Master Charvik.
Besides Naga Vamsi, Sai Soujanya has also backed the film under Fortune Four Cinemas. It is presented by Srikara Studios. GV Prakash is composing music, Nimish Ravi is the cinematographer, and Navin Nooli is the editor. Vishwanath & Sons is slated for an August 14 release in theatres worldwide.
Besides Vishwanath & Sons, Suriya also has two untitled films - Suriya 47 with Jithu Madhavan and Suriya 48 with TJ Gnanavel.
