Nayanthara and Kavin star in new romantic film ‘Hi’

The romantic entertainer ‘Hi’, directed by Vishnu Edavan, has been released in Tamil and Telugu. The film stars Nayanthara and Kavin, following the story of two individuals, Mayilsamy and Devayani, whose paths cross in Hyderabad after both flee arranged marriages.

Reviews characterize the film as a blend of romance, comedy, and family drama. Kavin has received praise for his comic timing and use of Kovai Tamil slang, while Nayanthara is noted for her screen presence and emotional depth. The supporting cast includes veteran actors such as Bhagyaraj, Prabhu, and Radhika Sarathkumar. While some critics noted a predictable plot and a second half that loses momentum, others described it as a refreshing and pleasant watch.

Produced by Zee Studios South, The Rowdy Pictures, and Seven Screen Studios, the film was originally scheduled for an August 14 release before being moved to August 28. Actor Kavin expressed admiration for Nayanthara’s ability to multitask as both an actress and a producer.
