Telugu director Venky Atluri who previously delivered a decent film Lucky Baskhar—especially appreciated during its OTT run—is now gearing up to direct actor Suriya, who is currently navigating a rough phase in his career with back-to-back flops.
According to unverified sources, this new project is reportedly titled Viswanathan and Sons, though an official confirmation is still awaited.

In response, Atluri reworked the concept into a family drama, which Suriya agreed to take up.
If the title Viswanathan and Sons turns out to be accurate, it hints at a heartfelt, emotional family story in the making—potentially aligning with the kind of content that could help Suriya reconnect with audiences.
