“Everyone will fall in love with ‘Vishwanath & Sons’” – Suriya
“You will have a smile on your face throughout the film” – Venky Atluri
“Everyone who loves their mother will connect with this film” – Suryadevara Naga Vamsi
The much-awaited Tamil star Suriya’s latest film, ‘Vishwanath & Sons’, is directed by the talented Venky Atluri, with Mamitha Baiju as the female lead. Presented by Srikara Studios, the film is jointly produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. Music is composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar.
A heartwarming family entertainer packed with natural humour, tender emotions and relatable relationships, ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ has already generated strong anticipation with its songs, teaser and trailer receiving an excellent response. The film is set to release worldwide in theatres on August 14, 2026.
Ahead of the theatrical release, the makers hosted a grand pre-release event on Tuesday evening at Kotla Vijay Bhaskar Reddy Stadium, Hyderabad, which witnessed the presence of the film’s cast, crew, prominent personalities and a large number of fans.
Suriya
Speaking at the event, hero Suriya thanked MLA Naveen Yadav, the film fraternity and fans for being part of the celebrations.
“Namaskaram to all my fans and their families across both Telugu states. You have showered immense love on me for the past 28 years, and I am here today because of that love. A film like this was possible because of Naga Vamsi garu and Venky. I strongly believe you will fall in love with this film when you watch it in theatres.
From the beginning, this film has received the blessings and support of Trivikram Srinivas garu. He has always stood by us. Trivikram garu has delivered films rooted in family values while making them appealing to the current generation, and Venky has drawn great inspiration from him.
G. V. Prakash has given fantastic music, and his combination with Venky is going to make it a hat-trick. Cinematographer Nimis, art director Banglan, editor Naveen and every member of the team have contributed immensely to making this film special.
I can never forget the six months I spent in Hyderabad for this film. It is very special to me. Twenty years ago, Telugu audiences embraced me as Sanjay Ramaswamy in Ghajini. Venky and Vamsi wanted to recreate that magic. Radhika ma’am has made this film even more special, while Mamitha has performed with tremendous energy.
Venky is a very sincere filmmaker who gives 200 percent. I admire him even more as a writer than as a director. Writing something this beautifully is not easy. I am already looking forward to working with him again.
People have lovingly called us the Telugu adopted sons of Telugu cinema. Suriya S/O Krishnan received immense love here, and I hope ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ receives the same affection,” he said.
Venky Atluri
Director Venky Atluri thanked the Telangana Police Department, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy for facilitating the event at short notice.
“I thank the Telangana Government and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy garu for their support to the film industry and for encouraging us through the Gaddar Awards. I am grateful to everyone associated with the industry.
For me, everyone is important—from audiences who spend their hard-earned money to watch a film and recommend it to ten others if they like it, to reviewers who point out the strengths and shortcomings of a film. If I make a mistake, I will learn from it and work with greater responsibility.
This film has given me immense satisfaction, and I believe audiences will experience the same satisfaction in theatres. This is not just a film made for Suriya’s fans; it is also made for their families.
You will have a smile on your face throughout the film. I am not saying this as a director, but as an audience member. Editor Naveen Nooli watched the film and told me, ‘You have made a hit.’
I sincerely thank everyone who has been part of this journey. Radhika ma’am is always full of energy. After watching the film, you will wish for a mother like her and a friend like her.
When you see Suriya and Mamitha together on screen, you will fall in love with their chemistry. I have been a huge Suriya fan for the past 20 years and have watched every film of his. It is a wonderful feeling to now direct him.
Suriya garu is not just a great actor but also a wonderful human being. He has always been at the forefront when it comes to helping others and has earned a special place in the hearts of many through his service activities,” he said.
Suryadevara Naga Vamsi
Producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi said that the film would occupy a special place among Suriya’s most loved films in Telugu.
“When we conducted the pooja ceremony for the film, I posted on social media that we were bringing back Sanjay Ramaswamy. No matter how many films Suriya garu does, Ghajini and Suriya S/O Krishnan have a special place in the hearts of Telugu audiences. I confidently assure you that ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ will join that list.
After a long time, I am saying this from the stage with complete confidence—the film is going to be very good. You will walk out of the theatre with the feeling that you have watched a genuinely good film.
The story revolves around the beautiful bond between a mother and son. Everyone who loves their mother will connect with this film. After watching it, you will love your mother even more.
Trivikram garu loved ‘Vishwanath & Sons’. So far, films that Trivikram garu liked have never failed on our banner. After watching the film, he said he could see no one but Suriya on screen. Audiences will say the same after watching it—they will feel that Suriya looks absolutely wonderful.
Venky has designed Suriya’s character exceptionally well. Just as Pawan Kalyan garu’s character in Attarintiki Daredi gives you a tremendous high, Suriya’s character in this film will give you the same kind of excitement.
This film will never disappoint you. It will leave you with the satisfaction of having watched a genuinely good film,” he said.
Mamitha Baiju
Actress Mamitha Baiju said, “It is a great pleasure to meet all of you today. I sincerely thank Naga Vamsi garu and Venky Atluri garu for giving me such a wonderful opportunity. I consider myself fortunate to have worked with Suriya garu and hope to work with him in many more films.
I have learnt so much from Radhika ma’am. I hope all of you watch and enjoy ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ with your families when it releases on August 14.”
MLA Naveen Yadav
Jubilee Hills MLA Naveen Yadav said, “Venky Atluri garu is a family friend of ours. It makes us very happy to see him growing into a great director by making meaningful films that are useful to society.
Our family has had a 40-year association with the film industry. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy garu is considering the idea of building a good school for the children of film workers.
I will watch ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ with my family and wish the film tremendous success.”
Radhika Sarathkumar
Veteran actress Radhika Sarathkumar said, “It has been many years since I attended an event like this in Hyderabad. This film is very special to me, and that is why I came here. I wanted to be here for Venky Atluri, Naga Vamsi garu, Suriya, Mamitha Baiju and the entire team.
Everyone calls this a family film, but I see it as a love story. You can watch it not only with your family but also with your friends. It is a very relevant subject for this generation and beautifully conveys the value of love and relationships.
Some films remain close to your heart. ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ is one such film.
Naga Vamsi garu is a wonderful producer and leads everything like a true leader. Venky Atluri may look young, but he thinks very deeply. I was amazed by the way he has written about love and relationships.
I wish the team many more such wonderful films. Telugu audiences have always been at the forefront of taking good films to another level, and I will always be grateful for the love they have shown me.
Mamitha Baiju has a bright future ahead. Suriya is an actor with a beautiful heart. There is honesty in his eyes. I have known him since he was young. He overcame his fears and worked extremely hard to become a great actor.
Suriya is not just a great actor but also a great human being. He continues to help many people,” she said.
K. L. Narayana
Veteran producer K. L. Narayana said, “I watched the teaser and trailer of the film and liked them very much. It is a good family-oriented film. Venky Atluri is making very good films, and I believe this will be another great film from the Sithara banner.”
Y. Ravi Shankar
Producer Y. Ravi Shankar said, “There are already blockbuster vibes around this film. The trailer itself indicated that the film is going to be an emotional ride. I am eagerly waiting to watch the first-day-first-show.
We are seeing Vintage Suriya garu in this film. He recently created a sensation in Tamil Nadu with Karuppu, and I am confident that ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ will deliver another big success.
Our Naga Vamsi has an excellent success ratio, and after Lucky Baskhar, I am confident he will score another major success.”
Ramajogayya Sastry
Lyricist Saraswathi Putra Ramajogayya Sastry said, “From the beginning, this film had the look and feel of a winner. Suriya garu has a cult following in Telugu, and audiences here eagerly wait for his films.
I have worked on several films featuring Suriya, but working on this film has been particularly special. I wrote three songs under the musical direction of G. V. Prakash Kumar. Two songs released already have gone viral, and I am eagerly waiting for the release of the third song, which I wrote with great love and passion.
I have known Venky Atluri for a long time. As a writer, he is a huge admirer of Trivikram garu and is a very good writer. The stories he chooses are distinctive and each one has something new.
Venky’s taste and vision are once again evident in this film. He has the strong support of Chinababu garu, Naga Vamsi garu and Trivikram garu. This is a good story, especially one that will appeal strongly to family audiences. I wish ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ tremendous success on August 14.”
Hyper Aadi
Actor and comedian Hyper Aadi said, “First of all, I thank Venky Atluri garu for making me a part of this film. I have been associated with him since his first film.
I must first talk about Lucky Baskhar, a film that received appreciation from both critics and audiences without a single negative review and went on to win a National Award. That film was made by Venky Atluri garu.
We often speak of Mayabazar, Sankarabharanam and Rudraveena as classics. For this generation, Lucky Baskhar is also a classic.
In Aravinda Sametha, my guru Trivikram garu wrote the dialogue about being a torchbearer. For this generation, Venky Atluri garu is also a torchbearer because he continues to bring great stories to audiences.
In this film, he beautifully presents the importance of respecting one’s teacher. Lucky Baskhar conveyed the message of being content with what we have rather than giving in to greed. Now, ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ brings a beautiful family story.
Naga Vamsi garu stood by Venky even during difficult phases because he believed in his talent. It is a pleasure to work with Suriya garu and Radhika ma’am. Suriya garu is not only a great actor but also a great human being. He has brought light into the lives of many underprivileged students,” he said.
With its strong emotional core, family values, natural humour, soulful music and the charismatic presence of Suriya, ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ is gearing up for a grand worldwide theatrical release on August 14, 2026.
