Suriya Vishwanath: Tamil Film Confirmed by Venky Atluri. In a recent interview with Galatta Plus, director Venky Atluri set the record straight about his upcoming project starring Suriya. He revealed that Suriya Vishwanath, also known by its working title Vishwanath & Sons, was shot entirely in Tamil, not as a bilingual as many had assumed. The film will be dubbed into Telugu for its release.
Suriya Vishwanath marks the actor’s next theatrical outing and is directed by Telugu filmmaker Venky Atluri. Mamitha Baiju plays a key female lead in the film, which is scheduled for a theatrical release on August 14, 2026. The clarification from Atluri addresses a long-standing misconception among fans and media.
The film is backed by Telugu producers Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya. Despite this, Suriya Vishwanath is fundamentally a Tamil film, with its original dialogues and scenes crafted in the language. The director emphasized that the project was never intended as a simultaneous bilingual shoot.
Music for Suriya Vishwanath is composed by GV Prakash Kumar, adding to the film’s anticipation. The confirmation helps audiences understand the film’s linguistic identity better. Suriya Vishwanath stands as a Tamil production, with its Telugu version arriving later through dubbing. This distinction is important for fans awaiting the movie’s release.
