Venky Atluri Discusses Vishwanath and Sons and Suriya Collaboration
Venky Atluri is a film director who made a movie called Vishwanath and Sons.
The story is about a man in his 40s falling in love with a woman in her 20s, which is a bit unusual for movies.
He first told the idea to a friend of the star Suriya, and Suriya liked it and helped him improve it.
The director worked hard to make the ending feel real and happy, not just a quick romance.
He talked a lot about how he kept telling the story to many people to find the best version.
The movie will come out on August 14 and stars Suriya, Mamitha Baiju, Radhika Sarathkumar, and Raveena Tandon.
Venky Atluri pitched an age‑gap romance to Suriya, who accepted after a brief discussion.
Suriya gave minimal input, focusing on keeping the story emotionally authentic.
The film avoids commercial exploitation of the age‑gap and aims for a logical, happy ending.
Atluri repeatedly narrated the script to refine the climax through collaboration.
Vishwanath and Sons releases on August 14, starring Suriya, Mamitha Baiju, Radhika Sarathkumar, and Raveena Tandon.
