Known for directing films such as Uyare and Kaanekkaane, Manu Ashokan is making his web series debut with Eyes. The series brings together a strong ensemble cast led by Kani Kusruti and explores the darker side of obsession, stalking, and psychological vulnerability.
Eyes OTT Release Date and Streaming Platform
Eyes will start streaming on Sony LIV from October 9, 2026. The series will be available in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada, making it accessible to audiences across multiple South Indian languages.
The show carries the intriguing tagline, “Watch, Protect, Defend,” hinting at its central themes of surveillance, protection, and the growing threat faced by women.
Kani Kusruti Leads the Cast
Kani Kusruti plays the lead role of Tina Sebastian, a police officer who investigates disturbing cases involving women. The series also stars Shruti Ramachandran, Nikhila Vimal, Saniya Iyappan and Dev Mohan in important roles.
Tina’s investigation takes her into cases involving individuals whose obsession gradually crosses the boundaries of normal relationships. As the investigation becomes more complicated, she works with mental health professionals to understand the mindset of stalkers and identify warning signs before situations become dangerous.
Manu Ashokan Reunites With Bobby-Sanjay
Eyes marks another collaboration between director Manu Ashokan and the popular writer duo Bobby-Sanjay. The trio previously worked together on Uyare and Kaanekkaane.
Bobby-Sanjay have written the series based on a story by Anjana Nayar. The narrative focuses on the increasingly blurred line between affection, control and fear.
According to the makers, Eyes explores themes such as obsession, vulnerability and stalking, while examining how seemingly harmless behaviour can escalate into something far more threatening.

Eyes is produced by TR Shamsudheen under the banner of Dream Katcher Productions. Gautham Sankar is the cinematographer, while Ranjin Raj has composed the music.
With its crime investigation backdrop and psychological elements, the series promises to offer a tense and thought-provoking viewing experience.
With Kani Kusruti portraying a police officer investigating cases involving women, Eyes combines crime investigation with psychological drama. The involvement of mental health professionals adds another layer to the narrative as the characters attempt to understand the psychology behind stalking and prevent potential threats.
Eyes premieres on Sony LIV on October 9, 2026, and will be available in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. With Manu Ashokan making his web series debut and reuniting with Bobby-Sanjay, the show is one of the upcoming South Indian OTT releases to watch out for.
