Suriya’s latest family drama, Vishwanath And Sons, continues to draw audiences in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana as it heads into its second weekend. The film, directed by Venky Atluri and produced by Naga Vamsi under Sithara Entertainments, has managed to sustain solid weekday collections even after its initial strong opening in the Telugu market.
Despite a reduction in the number of screens due to the arrival of Irumudi, Vishwanath And Sons has leveraged the Varalaxmi Vratham holiday to maintain impressive occupancies. According to reports, the film saw a notable uptick in audience turnout yesterday, with the holiday compensating for the loss of some showtimes. This strategic advantage is expected to help the film post robust numbers for the second weekend.
Mamitha Baiju stars alongside Suriya, and the film’s music, composed by GV Prakash Kumar, has also contributed to its appeal among family audiences. Earlier this year, it was noted that Suriya’s entry into straight Telugu cinema with this project generated significant buzz, and the movie’s performance has so far outpaced its Tamil Nadu debut, as previously reported in mid-August.
The consistent performance of Vishwanath And Sons in the Telugu states highlights the growing popularity of Suriya among Telugu-speaking audiences. As the film heads into another weekend bolstered by festive timing, trade analysts are watching closely to see how it sustains its momentum at the box office.
