In a recent interview, the actress discussed the much-talked-about age difference between the lead characters and described the film's concept as 'fresh'.
Mamitha Baiju Talks About the Unique Story
In a conversation with Sudhir Srinivasan, Mamitha Baiju elaborated on the age difference in the film, which she finds uncommon in cinema and thus captivating. She stated, 'I found it fresh when I heard the story first.' She also mentioned that the film does not constantly harp on the age gap but acknowledges it as a crucial element of the narrative.
The 'Jana Nayagan' actress explained how director Venky Atluri approached her. She said, 'Venky sir called me and gave me a brief about the film's story, and I loved it then and there.' She felt an immediate connection to the story and added, 'I felt like, I should not miss out on an opportunity to do a character like this.'
Theme of the Film
What sets 'Vishwanath and Sons' apart is its open portrayal of the age gap between the lead characters. Unlike many films that ignore or downplay such differences, this movie embraces it, discussing it in the teaser and pre-release interviews.
About 'Vishwanath and Sons'
'Vishwanath and Sons' is being produced as a Telugu-Tamil bilingual. The teaser introduces Suriya as Sanjay Vishwanath, a highly accomplished sharpshooter with multiple international awards. He leads a simple, quiet, and disciplined life until a much younger woman openly declares her love for him. Initially, he rejects her due to the age gap, but the teaser shows her persistent pursuit.
