Shruti Haasan The Eye to be screened at Wench Film Festival. Shruti Haasan, who is multi facted and multi talented is making her Hollywood debut with the film titled The Eye. The film directed by Daphne Schmon will be screened at the 5th Wench Film Festival.

The award was founded by Sapna Bhavnani—India’s pioneering festival dedicated to horror, sci-fi, and fantasy films and it will be taking place from 28 Feb to 2 March. Talking about the film, Shruti Haasan said “Psychological thrillers have always been a genre that fascinates me. To be part of a story that dives deep into human emotions, grief, and the supernatural is incredibly exciting. Besides the fact that the film has a riveting storyline and top-notch production quality, what makes this project even more special is that it was created under an all-women-led production house, which aligns with my passion for supporting women in the film industry. Furthermore, this film champions a sustainable way of filmmaking, something that the world desperately needs. If we want to continue telling our stories, we must be able to tell them in a manner that is conscious of our impact.”

Director shared “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. Her ability to navigate Diana’s grief, paranoia, and resilience with such authenticity is truly remarkable. It was only an artist of Shruti’s calibre who could do justice to this role, and she has delivered a stellar performance that will leave a lasting impact.”

Shruti Haasan is playing the role of Diana and The Eye story revolves around Diana who goes to the remote island where her husband Felix (Mark Rowley) drowned and seeks closure of his death. Diana comes to know about the Evil Eye ritual through which her husband can comeback to life but it requires shocking sacrifice.

The film was already screened at international festivals, at the London Independent Film Festival and its showcase at the Greek International Film Festival.
