Eko OTT Release: Story
The narrative revolves around the enigmatic disappearance of Kuriachan (Saurabh Sachdeva), a dog breeder with a troubled history. As the investigation progresses, former friends, business partners, and law enforcement officials searching for him seem to have their own motives—whether to see him face justice or to shield him from his alleged offenses. Kuriachan is rumored to have been embroiled in numerous disputes with various gangs, and intriguingly, his wife provides no insight into his location. The lingering question is whether he is still alive and, if so, where he might be hiding. Eko represents the third and concluding chapter of writer Bahul Ramesh’s Animal Trilogy, following Kishkindha Kaandam (2024) and Kerala Crime Files 2 (2025).
On the professional front, Dhanush is currently engaged in Vignesh Raja's D54.
