Venky Atluri confirms Vishwanath & Sons is shot only in Tamil
Film stars Suriya and Mamitha Baiju, with music by GV Prakash Kumar
Telugu version will be a dubbed release, not a bilingual
Produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya, releasing August 14, 2026
Suriya’s upcoming film, Vishwanath & Sons, has been the subject of much discussion regarding its language status. Directed by Venky Atluri, who is known for his work in Telugu cinema, the film stars Suriya alongside Mamitha Baiju and is set for a theatrical release on August 14, 2026.
Venky Atluri recently addressed a widespread misconception about the project. In an interview with Galatta Plus, Atluri clarified that Vishwanath & Sons is not a bilingual film. He stated that the movie was shot exclusively in Tamil, despite earlier reports suggesting simultaneous filming in both Tamil and Telugu. Atluri explained that the film will be dubbed into Telugu for its release in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, but its original production was solely in Tamil.
This clarification is significant as the film is backed by Telugu producers Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya, which had led to speculation about its bilingual status. The music for Vishwanath & Sons is composed by GV Prakash Kumar, adding further anticipation among fans. The involvement of a Telugu director and producers in a Tamil-language project has generated considerable interest, especially with Suriya’s strong fan base across South India.
With the release date approaching, Atluri’s comments have set the record straight for audiences awaiting the film in multiple languages. The confirmation ensures that viewers know what to expect when Vishwanath & Sons arrives in theatres.
