Seruppugal Jaakirathai (Beware of Sandals) is a 2025 Tamil-language action comedy web series directed by Rajesh Soosairaj and produced by Singaravelan under SS Group.[1][2] The series has comedian-actor Singampuli in the lead role, with Vivek Rajgopal, Iraa Agarwal, Manohar, and a supporting ensemble.[3] The plot revolves around the search for a diamond hidden inside a slipper.[4] The series was released on ZEE5 March 28, 2025.[5]
The story revolves around Rathinam, a diamond smuggler who hides a precious gem inside his slipper during a police raid. In a panic, he swaps his footwear with a nearly identical pair belonging to Thyagarajan (Singampuli), an unsuspecting auditor. When Thyagarajan and his son Ilango misplace the slipper, a frenzied search ensues, blending slapstick comedy, unexpected twists, and high-stakes action as multiple parties vie to recover the hidden diamond.
Rathnam conceals diamonds valued at 10 crores inside a pair of slippers and gives them to Thyagu, who accidentally loses them. Upon discovering their true worth, he tasks his son, Ilango, with retrieving them.

Reception
Anusha Sundar of OTTPlay gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Seruppugal Jaakirathai misses the mark in delivering an engaging and coherent crime comedy. The major falter in the series is that there is a stark absence of grounded character development and an over-reliance on chaotic, exaggerated situations. Its tedious pacing and poorly executed humour don’t help the show either."[9] A critic of Dinamalar gave 2.5/5 stars.[10]
