Synopsis Kannada cinema celebrates a new hit. 'Su From So' earns over Rs 100 crore worldwide. The film has now secured a digital and satellite deal. JioHotstar will stream the movie. Colors Kannada and Star Maa will broadcast it. The movie is about Ashoka, whose crush sparks rumours of spirit possession. The film blends comedy and social commentary. Su From So may stream on a different OTT giant, as per reports. Kannada cinema has just found its latest blockbuster in Su From So. Released with little fanfare, the film has grown into a cultural phenomenon, surpassing the Rs 100 crore mark in worldwide box office collections and surprising everyone with its meteoric rise. Now, after weeks of speculation, the comedy-drama has inked a digital and satellite deal worth Rs 5.5 crore + GST, ensuring its next big splash will be on the small screen. The movie, directed by debutant J. P. Thuminad, has been the talk of the town ever since it opened in theatres on July 25. Thuminad not only made his directorial debut but also took the lead role, with acclaimed filmmaker-actor Raj B. Shetty backing the project as both producer and performer. Their gamble paid off big time, as the film has now become the highest-grossing Kannada film of the year so far. In an interesting twist, the digital rights went through a shuffle. For weeks, industry buzz hinted at streaming giant, Prime Video having bagged the film, only for another platform, JioHotstar seal the deal at the last moment, as per 123Telugu. Alongside the OTT premiere, the satellite rights were also snapped up, with Colors Kannada set to telecast the film in Kannada and Star Maa handling the Telugu dubbed version. The streaming release date is expected to be announced soon, following the film's strong 25-day theatrical run. Su From So has earned its blockbuster badge not just with numbers but also with its quirky storyline. Set in the coastal village of Marlur near Someshwara, the plot follows Ashoka, a carefree young man whose harmless crush suddenly sparks a wildfire of rumours. Villagers begin to suspect he is possessed by a spirit named Sulochana, and what follows is a cascade of chaos, humour, and superstition that flips the entire community upside down. The film blends slapstick comedy with social commentary, diving into how gossip and belief systems shape people's lives. Backed by Lighter Buddha Films, Su From So features Shaneel Gautham, Sandhya Arakere, Prakash Thuminad, Deepak Rai Panaje, Mime Ramdas, and Raj B. Shetty in pivotal roles.
