Vishwanath & Sons film release campaign

Entities: Venky Atluri · Suriya · Vishwanath and Sons · Raveena Tandon · Vishwanath & Sons

Overview

In late July 2026 the promotion intensified. On 25 July the full “Wedding Song” was released, featuring Suriya’s vocals in the Telugu version and choreography with newcomer Mamitha Baiju, alongside Radhika Sarathkumar and Raveena Tandon. The track, composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar with lyrics by Ramajogayya Sastry (Malayalam) and Ken Karunas (Telugu), formed part of a broader push for the bilingual family drama.

Four days later, director Venky Atluri confirmed a worldwide theatrical opening on 14 August 2026, describing the story as a romantic‑comedy drama about a 40‑year‑old pistol shooter whose life changes after meeting a young woman, and noting Raveena Tandon’s return to Tamil cinema.

By early August, the film’s trailer was slated for release on 7 August, and the August 14 debut will coincide with two other titles, *Magudam* and *Hi*. Preliminary ticket‑interest data from BookMyShow shows about 32,000 users have expressed interest in *Vishwanath & Sons*, compared with roughly 52,000 for *Magudam*, indicating a competitive opening weekend.
