Suriya’s heartfelt speech at the Telugu event for 'Vishwanath & Sons' left actress Mamitha Baiju emotional on stage. Praising her journey from a junior artist to the lead role, Suriya said, “Without having any background, when you believe in yourself, you can be here.” The film’s team, including director Venky Atluri and producer Naga Vamsi, gathered in Hyderabad to celebrate the project. Early X reviews of the family drama are largely positive. Viewers called the first half “breezy and enjoyable” and praised Suriya’s performance as on par with his iconic Ghajini role. The second half is noted for strong family sentiment, with emotional moments drawing comparisons to hits like Ala Vaikunthapurramloo. One reviewer gave it 3.5 out of 5, calling it a “heart-touching emotional family drama.”
