Suriya in Vishwanath and Sons
Tamil superstar Suriya's upcoming film has been titled Vishwanath & Sons, the makers announced on Monday. The film also stars Mamitha Baiju of Premalu fame. Production banner Sithara Entertainments unveiled the first look of the project directed by Venky Atluri of Lucky Baskhar fame.
The film, which is Suriya's 46th project as a lead actor, is billed as a family drama and is slated to release in theatres in July. "Power in his presence. Warmth in his embrace. Bringing back the vintage magic of actorsuriya in a heart-touching family spectacle. VishwanathAndSons. The biggest family drama of the year arrives this July," the studio posted on Instagram.
The poster features Suriya carrying a smiling baby in his arms, hinting at an emotional narrative centred around familial bonds.
Actor Mamitha Baiju, known for her work in Premalu, stars opposite Suriya in the film. The ensemble cast also includes Raveena Tandon, Radhika Sarathkumar, Bhavani Sre and Bjorn Surrao in pivotal roles.
The project is jointly produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya. Music for the film is composed by G V Prakash Kumar, while cinematography is handled by Nimish Ravi. According to media reports, the story is said to revolve around the relationship between a middle-aged man and a young girl, exploring themes of family and emotional connection.
Actor and director RJ Balaji recently disclosed that his eagerly-awaited action entertainer, Karuppu, featuring actor Suriya in the lead, will release after the State Assembly elections this summer. The director, who participated in a college event that was held recently, said, "Karuppu is ready for release. However, we do not want to create a hype as we don't want to make fans have huge expectations when they come to watch the film and be disappointed if the film falls short of such hyped up expectations. The movie has come out well and you will all like it. We intend to release the film after the elections this summer. It is a film which you can enjoy with your entire family. Students can enjoy it with their parents."
The teaser of the film was released on the occasion of Suriya's birthday last year. The teaser begins with the deity of Karuppu being worshipped with chilli powder even as a voice says, "It's not a calm deity that you worship with grace. If you pray with sincerity and offer chillies, it's a fierce deity that will deliver instant justice."
