Film synopsis

The film follows the story of Thuminad's character and the events that unfold after he claims to be possessed.

The title of the Kannada movie Su From So is an abbreviation for Sulochana from Someshwar, the spirit believed to have possessed the protagonist in the film.

Director Thuminad felt that Sulochana From Someshwar would be too long a title and shortened it.
