The Story in Brief
Director Venky Atluri tonsured his head at the Tirumala temple and offered his hair as a vow seeking success for his upcoming film 'Vishwanath And Sons'. The Suriya-starrer releases on [date, not specified in source]. Atluri, known for 'Vaathi' and 'Lucky Baskhar', had earlier touched Suriya’s feet at a pre-release event.
The film, a family entertainer with comedy and emotion, also stars Mamitha Baiju, Radhika Sarathkumar, and Raveena Tandon. Music is by G. V. Prakash Kumar. Several celebs visit Tirumala before big releases, and Atluri has joined that list.
The Indian Opinion
The ritual tonsure before a release is a familiar Bollywood and Tollywood trope, but it risks reducing devotion to a marketing gimmick. Venky Atluri’s gesture is genuine, yet audiences should judge the film on its content, not the director’s pilgrimage. The real test is whether 'Vishwanath And Sons' delivers the family entertainer it promises, box office numbers will be the honest verdict.
