Suriya's latest film, Vishwanath And Sons, is making headlines as its Telugu version outpaces the original Tamil release at the box office. Following the pattern set by Lokesh Kanagaraj’s debut film DC, which recently became a superhit despite underwhelming numbers in Tamil Nadu, Vishwanath And Sons appears to be repeating this scenario with even stronger momentum in the Telugu market.
Directed by Venky Atluri and featuring Mamitha Baiju as the female lead, Vishwanath And Sons opened to impressive occupancy rates for its Telugu version across India. Reports indicate that the Telugu screenings have drawn larger crowds compared to the Tamil original, particularly on opening day. The trend is even more pronounced in North America, where the Telugu version has established a significant lead in box office collections.
Industry sources attribute this surge to positive initial reports and strong pre-bookings, suggesting that the Telugu version will continue to dominate in the coming days. The film’s family entertainer appeal and Suriya’s star power have contributed to its robust performance outside Tamil Nadu, with the Telugu states expected to soon surpass the home-state numbers for both DC and Vishwanath And Sons.
This shift highlights the growing influence of Telugu audiences on South Indian cinema box office trends, especially for bilingual releases. As Vishwanath And Sons continues its theatrical run, all eyes are on how far the Telugu version can go in setting new benchmarks.
