Who is the real Sulochana from the movie ‘Su from So’? – Here is the real story

All the characters from the super hit film 'Su From So' are deeply etched in the minds of the audience. But most people don't know the real story behind Sulochana's character in the title of the film. As those who have watched the film have noticed, sulochana's character appears only in the form of a photo in the film, but the character is the main factor that gives direction to the story.

The original Sulochana Vijayalakshmi Balakrishna Rai, the woman in the photo in the picture is actually Vijayalakshmi Balakrishna Rai from Mangalore. She is the mother of Sudarshan, a close friend of actor-director Raj B Shetty for 15 years. There are very few people in Raj Shetty's circle who do not know him. Vijayalakshmi, who was friendly and interactive with everyone, was admired by many including Raj.

He made his acting debut with the film 'Garuda Gaana Vrushabha Vahana' (GGVV). On the request of Raj B Shetty, she played the roles of Hari's mother and Shiva's foster mother. Later, she was also seen as Raj Shetty's mother in the web series 'Ekam'. Though he had no acting experience, his performance won everyone's heart.

However, Vijayalakshmi passed away in April 2021, four months before the release of 'Garuda Gaana Vrushabha Vahana' in 2019. He couldn't see his first film. Raj B Shetty had a desire to cast Vijayalakshmi in the initial stages of the film. In 2019, she narrated the story and got her nod for the role of Ashoka's mother. But after her untimely demise, the character was built in memory of Sulochana.

Vijayalakshmi's husband and two children live in Mangaluru. His son Sudarshan remembers that if his mother was alive, she would have acted in many more films. In the film 'Garuda Gamana Vrushabha Vahana', she had conveyed the message of mother's sacrifice through the role of a mother who gave life to Lord Shiva found in a well. Now, in 'Su From So', she has left a lasting memory in the minds of the audience as a ray of hope for the life of her single daughter. This biography of Vijayalakshmi Rai is a wonderful testimony to the fact that she can inspire society through her roles in the film industry.
