Venky Atluri admits to big suggestions from Jyotika for Vishwanath And Sons

Speaking with Behindwoods, Venky Atluri said, "One of the important narrations of Vishwanath And Sons was to Jyotika ma'am. She loved the subject and was happy, especially the first half. Jyotika ma'am gave a few suggestions for the film. I narrated the script to many, but the feedback I got from Jyotika ma'am was very helpful. I'll mention what all changes she suggested after the film's release."

Moreover, Venky added that audiences would walk out of theaters after watching Vishwanath And Sons feeling that the film was not morally wrong and would leave feeling very satisfied.

Venky further recalled that when the project was announced, he had come across memes, reels, and Reddit comments questioning how Mamitha Baiju could be paired opposite Suriya. However, the director said that at the time, only he and Suriya knew why Mamitha had been cast in the role. He added that after the teaser was released, everyone was convinced.

The makers of Vishwanath And Sons recently unveiled the film's second single, titled The Wedding Song. Composed by GV Prakash Kumar, the track was sung by Suriya, while actor-director Ken Karunas penned the lyrics.
