Tamil film “Hi” release timeline

Entities: Kavin · Nayanthara · Vishwa Edavan · Jen Martin · Vishnu Edavan

Overview

The Tamil‑language romance‑drama ‘Hi’, starring Nayanthara and Kavin and directed by Vishnu Edavan, was first slated for a 14 August 2026 theatrical opening to coincide with India’s Independence Day weekend, sharing the date with Suriya’s ‘Vishwanath And Sons’. A week later the producers Rowdy Pictures, in partnership with Seven Screen Studio and Zee Studios, moved the release to 28 August 2026 to secure a wider window while preserving promotional momentum. The film will later stream on ZEE5.

Subsequent updates confirmed a worldwide release on 28 August, with the title appearing as ‘Hai’ in some outlets. The rollout is supported by a family‑friendly marketing push: the first soundtrack song has already garnered millions of digital views, and the film is billed as a simple, sweet entertainer set in Chennai, Coimbatore and Pollachi. An expanded ensemble cast—including K. Pakyraj, Prabu, Radhika Sarathkumar, Vidy V. Ganesh, Satyan, Aditya Karthi and Guresh—has been highlighted. Production credits remain consistent: music by Jen Martin, cinematography by Raj Shukla (or Raj Sukla), editing by Philominraj (or S. Kannan), with V. K. Kupendran listed as creative producer.
