Actor Meghna Raj has appreciated Mamitha Baiju's performance in Venky Atluri's Vishwanath & Sons, starring Suriya as the lead. The actor described Mamitha's character, Maddy, as one of the most enjoyable roles she has watched in recent times. Meghna praised the young actor for bringing a distinct energy to the screen.

In an interview with the Cinema Express YouTube channel, the actor said, "I loved Mamitha Baiju's role in Vishwanath & Sons. It was very refreshing, but I don't know if I can play something like that because I think Mamitha brought in a different energy to the role. She portrayed the character very well... One of the recent female characters which I enjoyed watching. Like.. there wasn't a lot of framework to the character but somehow you'd love it.. So, I really liked that."

The actor further expressed her love for Kerala, even though she is a Kannadiga. She stated that she gets confused as to which she would call her first home, Bengaluru or Kerala. "Professionally, I got recognition as Meghna Raj through Kerala. I have received so much love and support from the film industry and people there. Even today I have a great fondness for Kerala," she said.
