Speaking to scribes, Venky Atluri said he planned a biopic with Suriya but then Viswanath & Sons happened. He said "I initially wanted to make a biopic with Suriya. It was a period film like my earlier projects. It was set 30-40 years before the current time. My last two films Vaathi and Lucky Baskhar, both are of the same genre. I was too scared of entering into monotony,"
He revealed "He was questioning whether fans really wanted another biopic from him. Besides, he also wanted to make a family drama. He has always balancing his projects and its genres, but somehow, he felt it kept repeating for him. So, he wanted to do a happy family film as a tribute for his fans who had always supported him. While he loved the idea of my biopic, there were complications regarding rights and the timeline, but he once again stressed on the importance of doing a breezy, family story,"
Suriya said he planned to any film with Venky Atluri after Lucky Bhaskar and at that time, he had a script for a biopic. He said however he did not do the biopic.
