Radhika Sarathkumar shot a comedy scene for the upcoming film 'Vishwanath & Sons' minutes after learning about her mother Geetha Radha's death in September 2025. Filmmaker Venky Atluri said in a promotional video that Radhika asked to finish the scene before leaving after getting the news. Radhika explained that 85% of the scene was done and recreating it later would be impossible. She had come to the shoot knowing her mother was in hospital. Geetha Radha died at 86 from age-related issues. Co-star Mamitha Baiju recalled being heartbroken watching Radhika perform. Actor Suriya praised her dedication to her craft. The film, releasing August 14, stars Suriya as an Olympic-level pistol shooter and focuses on a mother-son bond.
