Suriya and director Venky Atluri are collaborating for the first time on the upcoming film Vishwanath and Sons. While the movie was earlier expected to arrive in July 2026, fresh reports suggest the release could now be delayed further.
Vishwanath and Sons release date update
According to a report by Aakashavaani, Suriya starrer Vishwanath and Sons is now likely targeting the Independence Day 2026 release window. Earlier, the film was reportedly planned for a July release, just two months after Karuppu hit theatres. However, the makers now appear to be considering a later release date. An official confirmation is still awaited.
For those unaware, Vishwanath and Sons revolves around Sanjay Vishwanath, a 40-year-old former international pistol shooting champion struggling to make a comeback while dealing with deteriorating eyesight. The story also explores his emotionally layered relationship with Maddy, a lively young woman nearly 20 years younger than him, who falls in love with him.
Directed by Venky Atluri, the film stars Mamitha Baiju as the female lead, alongside Radikaa Sarathkumar and Raveena Tandon in pivotal roles.
Suriya’s upcoming projects
On the work front, Suriya will next be seen in Karuppu, scheduled to release on May 14, 2026. The film unfolds in a chaotic world filled with fear and injustice, where a mysterious man rises as an unexpected savior. As he battles personal demons and societal challenges, he slowly realizes his true purpose and power.
Apart from Suriya, the movie also features Trisha Krishnan and RJ Balaji in prominent roles, along with Indrans, Natty Subramaniam, Swasika, Sshivada, Anagha Maaya Ravi, Supreeth Reddy, and Yogi Babu in supporting parts.
Looking ahead, the actor has also started work on a cop action-comedy tentatively titled Suriya47. Directed by Jithu Madhavan, the film stars Nazriya Nazim as the female lead, while Naslen plays a key role. The music and background score are being composed by Sushin Shyam, and reports suggest the film may eventually expand into a sequel-led franchise.
