Su From So out on OTT: JP Thuminad and Raj B Shetty’s comedy is now available to stream
Su From So out on OTT: Su From So, the highest grossing Kannada film of 2025 as of September, is streaming with Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu audio
Last Updated: 08.33 AM, Sep 09, 2025
After a lot of speculation surrounding its OTT debut, the Raj B Shetty production Su From So is finally available to stream. The blockbuster Kannada film arrived on JioHotstar (via OTTplay Premium also) on September 9 in its Kannada original version, as well as with Malayalam and Telugu audio. Tamil and Hindi versions have not made it to the streamer, reportedly, because the remake rights in those languages have been sold.
Su From So released in theatres only a week after the much-hyped Yuva Rajkumar starrer Ekka, and came out along with Mahavatar Narasimha, Son of Sardaar 2, Thalaivan Thalaivii and Maareesan. It was also only weeks before the big-ticket Rajinikanth-led Coolie. July 25 was not considered a great date for small film that a little more than a month earlier, no one really knew of. But then, the film exceeded all expectations and how when it became a runaway hit, banking solely on the strength of word-of-mouth publicity from the paid premieres in the days ahead of the release.

The film is still in select theatres and registered around 20 fast filling/sold out shows in Bengaluru on its 7th Sunday. According to trade tracker sacnilk.com, at last count, Su From So had made Rs 122 cr world-wide, most of which has come from the Kannada original version. The Malayalam dubbed version, which released a week later, has also contributed Rs 6 crore net, and received a lot of praise for the quality of dubbing, which, audiences said, made it feel like an original Malayalam film. The Telugu version, though, did not pick up as much, and managed a tad over Rs 2 crore net only.
Su from So is written and directed by JP Thuminad, who’s been a long-time Raj B Shetty collaborator, but was best known in recent times as Deepak (Rukmini Vasanth’s character Priya’s husband) from Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Side B. The film was, reportedly, made at a budget of Rs 4.5 crore, with the team spending another crore and a half on promotions and release expenses. The film revolves around the events that play out when JP’s character Ashoka claims to be possessed and the identity of the spirit is revealed – Sulochana From Someshwara.
