No Tamil and Hindi versions of Su From So on OTT

But why not in Hindi and Tamil? According to reports, Su From So will only be available in three options and not Hindi and Tamil, because the remake rights have been sold in those two languages. After the Kannada original released on July 25, a week later, Malayalam came out and yet another week hence, the Telugu version. It was said that a Hindi dubbed version was also in the works, but then there was no news of it. Later, there were reports of the film getting a Hindi version, especially after the team met Ajay Devgn, but JP Thuminad clarified that the meeting was only for the Bollywood actor to appreciate their efforts.
