Nayanthara and Kavin Star in New Romantic Drama Hi Trailer

The makers of the upcoming Tamil film Hi have released a 2-minute-and-48-second trailer showcasing the central romance between Nayanthara and Kavin. Directed by Vishnu Edavan, who previously served as an assistant to Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film marks his directorial debut. The narrative follows Mayilsamy, a young man portrayed by Kavin, who consistently faces bad luck in his pursuit of love and marriage. His life takes a turn when he meets Devayani, played by Nayanthara, an unconventional woman who initially rejects him.

The trailer suggests a complex plot where the two protagonists are eventually forced into a marriage despite the love being one-sided from Mayilsamy’s end. This romantic drama features a strong supporting cast including late actor Bhagyaraj, Prabhu, and Radikaa Sarathkumar. Initially scheduled for a mid-August release, the production timeline was adjusted, resulting in a slight delay. The film highlights the emotional journey of a hopeless romantic navigating societal norms and personal rejection while seeking companionship in a difficult situation.

Hi is set to hit theaters across India on August 28, 2026, positioning it as a significant end-of-month release for the Tamil film industry. For Nayanthara, this project follows a busy period that includes the action drama Toxic alongside Yash and upcoming roles in films like Dear Students and Mookuthi Amman 2. The film’s focus on realistic character dynamics and chemistry between the leads aims to capture a broad audience. Fans are closely watching Kavin’s performance as he continues his transition into mainstream leading roles.
