Suriya’s ‘Vishwanath & Sons’ First Look

The first-look poster features Suriya in a sophisticated, mature look, cradling a baby in a carrier while holding a feeding bottle. The clean-cut, suave aesthetic has led director Venky Atluri and producer Naga Vamsi to confirm that the character is a spiritual nod to Sanjay Ramasamy, the beloved billionaire protagonist from the 2005 cult classic Ghajini. Sharing the poster on social media, Suriya wrote, “Love with a difference, family with a purpose — we arrive in July as a wholesome entertainer.” The imagery suggests a narrative pivot for the actor, moving from the intense action of his recent film Kanguva (2024) to a more grounded, emotional drama.

'Vishwanath & Sons' Cast

Vishwanath & Sons features a diverse pan-Indian ensemble, with Premalu breakout star Mamitha Baiju cast as the female lead in a storyline that reportedly explores a relationship between a middle-aged man and a younger woman.
