    The film is produced by Fingerprint Content and directed by Daphne Schmon in the locations of Athens and Corfu.

    Daphne said talking about the Indian premiere of the movie, The Eye, is both a love letter to Corfu, the island where my family is from, and an exploration of the dark psychological impulses surrounding grief. The story demanded an actor who could embody its emotional depth and complexity, and Shruti Haasan was the perfect fit.

    Shruti Hassan expresses her excitement for the premiere by saying, “Psychological thrillers have always fascinated me. This story delves deep into grief, human emotions, and the supernatural, making it an incredible experience to be a part of. An all-women-led production house created this project, making it even more special and aligning with my passion for supporting women in the film industry, if we want to continue telling stories, we must do so in a way that is conscious of our impact on the world,” according to TOI.
