Su From So: How a low-budget Kannada film gained nationwide attention

'The secret everyone pretended not to know' is officially revealed - that's what Raj B Shetty wrote in his caption as his character reveal poster from the Kannada blockbuster film 'Su From So' was shared on social media, weeks after the film's re. While the makers' call to keep his cameo appearance a secret is brilliant and understandable, why did the audience choose to 'pretend not to know'?advertisementIn a world where the biggest surprises and cameo appearances immediately go viral on X and Instagram, the audience chose to enjoy this pleasant surprise and also save it for those watching the next show. Now, this is a rare occasion we hardly see happening. It only happens when viewers accept a film as their own and contribute to its success in more ways than just at the ticket counter. Raj B Shetty's X post revealing his character from the recent Kannada film 'Su From So' 'Su From So', by debutant director JP Thuminad, released in theatres across Karnataka on July 25, with little to no promotions prior to release. Banking solely on word of mouth, quite literally, using it as their marketing campaign by organising paid premieres across Karnataka and capturing audience reactions and reviews, the makers created enough buzz that, within a couple of days, it started spreading like wildfire. The social drama/comedy film has crossed the Rs 50 crore-mark at the box office. The film has sold more than one million tickets on BookMyShow, making it one of the few Kannada films to achieve this feat. 'Su From So' was released across Kerala in Malayalam on August 1 and has shown an upward trend in terms of audience reception and box office performance. The fact that this film was made on a budget of only Rs 6 crore, makes all the other numbers look exponentially more pleasing.'Su From So', having been produced by Raj B Shetty's Lighter Buddha Films, was picked up by Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films for distribution across Kerala. After release, Anil Thadani's AA Films acquired the North India distribution rights, while Mythri Movie Makers acquired the rights to dub the film in Telugu and distribute it across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The film was also released internationally by Phars Film and has been expanding its theatrical reach in several important centres.'Bandaro Bandaro Bava Bandaroo' has been on my playlist for a while, and that's just a background tune for the entry of a secondary character. The love has not been limited to the film but to every individual character in it. Requests for Ravi Anna to get a spin-off film, people dressing up children to look like Bava, Ashoka, Bhanu, Satish Anna, and Chandranna - all are fan favourites. Let's not forget Karunakara Guruji, played by Raj B Shetty - since we don't have to keep it a secret these are character that are unforgettable in the movie, we still have to keep the story a secret as 'Su From So' is gearing up for release in other languages. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Raj B Shetty (@rajbshetty)The minimal marketing strategy was an interesting approach that other filmmakers should use as a reference for their strategies. The makers organised promotional paid premieres in key locations of Karnataka, starting with Mangaluru, Shivamogga, Mysuru, and finally the time the team reached Mysuru to promote the film, the hype built by the promotional videos from the premieres in Mangaluru and Shivamogga compelled the makers to add extra shows in Mysuru and Bengaluru. This strategy worked wonders for the film, especially given the lethargy among viewers towards promotions restricted to interviews and mega events This is not the first time an 'underdog' film from Kannada cinema has piqued the audience's interest through a unique marketing strategy. 'Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare', a 2023 Kannada college comedy film, grabbed attention right from its title reveal - and the innovative marketing campaign backed the film so much that people still refer to it as the last complete comedy entertainer before 'Su From So'.Raj B Shetty's very first film as a director and actor, 'Ondu Motteya Kathe and 'Rangitaranga', Rishab Shetty's directorial 'Sarkari Hiriya Prathamika Shaale', Kasaragodu', 'Karva', and 'Love Mocktail' are some examples of underdog films that were accepted and loved by the audience, who carried these films to hit a time when digital noise often drowns out genuine creativity, films like 'Su From So' remind us that strong storytelling, authentic characters, and audience trust are still the most effective marketing tools that have now helped it gain nationwide attention. With every such underdog victory, the industry carves out a stronger identity on the national stage.'Su From So', short for Sulochana from Someshwara, features Shaneel Gautham, JP Thuminad, Sandhya Arakere, Prakash K Thuminadu, Deepak Rai Panaje, and Mime Ramdas, among others. The music for the film has been composed by Sumedh K, and it has been produced by Shashidhar Shetty Baroda, Ravi Rai Kalasa, and Raj B Shetty. This film comes highly recommended - and watching it as a community experience will only make it better for you.- EndsMUST WATCH:

'Big' Actor Has A 9-People Entourage, Costume Designer Charges Rs 20,000 To Fix Collar: Komal Nahta

Last Updated: Komal Nahta said that these huge entourages are a waste of money as they don'[t affect the film's quality. The rising cost of Bollywood entourages is a topic that has been in discussion for several months now. Several filmmakers and producers have slammed actors for unnecessarily having too many people around them. Now, Komal Nahta has weighed in on the debate. He recalled how a big actor's costume designer once charged Rs 20,000 just to fix his collar. Speaking to Faridoon Shahryar on his YouTube channel, Komal Nahta said, 'Entourage doesn't interfere in the script of the film or its making. The negative points of entourage are the cost to the producer and the irritation value. They irritate the smooth functioning. The entourage doesn't have the power to turn a good film into a bad one, but it is definitely a waste of money." Recalling an incident when a star had a massive entourage, he said, 'Even for an appearance, an actor will come with 8 to 9 people. The big star came with the costume designer, social media manager, photographer, two bouncers, despite us providing security, makeup man, and hairdresser. He literally came wearing a suit, got down from the flight and reached the venue." Komal recalled, 'And the costume designer, just to justify her payment…" Komal adjusted his collar and said, 'That is all she did (fixed his collar), and the organiser had to pay her Rs 20,000." Previously, the likes of Anurag Kashyap, Shoojit Sircar and Rajeev Masand have criticised the rising costs of Bollywood entourages. Rajeev Masand, the COO of the Dharma Cornerstone Agency, told The Hollywood Reporter India, 'I do think that costs have spiralled irrationally. If hair and makeup are getting paid more than the editor of a film or the writer of a film, there's a problem. Actors need to take a stand, but really, the ball is finally in the court of the producers. They need to unite and say we're not going to encourage this." Actors like Kriti Sanon, John Abraham and Jackie Shroff have openly discussed the matter. Kriti Sanon told Bollywood Bubble, 'When we talk about hair, makeup, and costume, they make the character to a large extent. Having said that, there are a lot of unnecessary entourage, which sometimes certain actors might get. We have to be mindful of it." John Abraham told The Hollywood Reporter India, 'We can't load a film with entourage costs as well. It's ridiculous. Don't know if actors are thinking this way or if it's their agent making them think differently. I understand you are put in a bubble, but you can't be so daft. You need to see the real world." While Jackie Shroff did agree that a huge entourage was not required, he also spoke for some actors who have too many people around them. In a conversation with Vickey Lalwani, Jackie clarified that he usually travels with just a spotboy and believes that every actor is entitled to their preferences, but those expectations must be transparent from the get-go.
