Overview
- Seven Screen Studios announced on social media that Hi has received a U/A certificate from the CBFC and will open in theatres on August 14, 2026.
- The film stars Nayanthara and Kavin and is the directorial debut of Vishnu Edavan, with production credited to Seven Screen Studios, Zee Studios South and The Rowdy Pictures.
- Public details remain limited, but sources describe Hi as a family‑oriented emotional romance set across Chennai, Coimbatore and Pollachi that reportedly lacks a conventional on‑screen villain.
- By targeting the Independence Day weekend release window, the makers are positioning Hi against Suriya’s Vishwanath and Sons in what industry coverage frames as a direct box‑office clash for holiday audiences.
- The project brings established technicians and supporting actors together — including composer Jen Martin, cinematographer Rajesh Shukla, editor Philomin Raj and cast members such as K. Bhagyaraj, Prabhu and Radhika — and further marketing is expected to reveal plot and promotional plans.
