Actress Mamitha Baiju was paid a remuneration of Rs 1.5 crore for her role in the Suriya-starrer Vishwanath & Sons, according to industry buzz reported by 123telugu.com. Her performance in the film has been praised by audiences and critics, and the film has been declared a smash hit. Separately, telugucinema.com reports that Vishwanath & Sons has grossed around $2.4 million in North America, making it Suriya's highest-grossing film in the region. The film is now eyeing the $2.5 million mark. The Telugu version has contributed strongly to its overseas performance, despite competition from Ravi Teja's Irumudi. Directed by Venky Atluri, the romantic family drama has emerged as one of the most profitable Indian movies in overseas markets this year. Both sources note that the film's success has boosted Mamitha Baiju's profile, with several producers now keen to sign her for upcoming projects.
