Forward of Suriya’s Vishwanath And Sons launch on August 14 in Tamil and Telugu, the one query that’s being mentioned now could be Will the Tamil viewers settle for a movie from a Telugu director Venky Atluri on an enormous scale?
Telugu audiences have usually proven robust curiosity in movies from completely different industries. If the content material connects, language and trade background haven’t been main obstacles. The scenario is barely completely different in Tamil Nadu in comparison with the Telugu states.
Nonetheless, Tamil audiences have been a bit of extra selective when Tamil stars work with administrators from different industries. There are examples like Suriya’s 24 and Dhanush’s Vaathi (Sir in Telugu) and Kuberaa, the place the movies carried out moderatelywell in Tamil Nadu however didn’t turn into as profitable as in Telugu.
That makes Vishwanath And Sons an fascinating take a look at. Venky Atluri is a Telugu filmmaker, whereas Suriya has a robust following in Tamil Nadu. The movie can also be positioned as an emotional household entertainer, which may assist it join with a wider viewers.
The biggest question is whether Tamil audiences will accept the film purely as a Suriya film and judge it on its content, or whether the Telugu director factor will have some impact.
If Vishwanath And Sons gets strong word of mouth, the language and director’s background may not matter much. But if the film receives only an average response, it could once again raise questions about how much Tamil audiences are willing to embrace Tamil stars working with filmmakers from outside the industry.
As the film opens this weekend, the all eyes are on Tamil Nadu’s BO numbers. The real test is not just whether Vishwanath And Sons performs well in Tamil Nadu, but whether Tamil collections can make a big difference and give the VAS a strong home-market advantage.
