‘Hi’ trailer: Kavin, Nayanthara promise a fun romantic ride

The trailer for the upcoming Tamil romantic comedy 'Hi', starring Kavin and Nayanthara, has been released ahead of its August 28 theatrical debut. The film, produced by Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan, faces a unique box office clash with another Nayanthara project, 'Toxic'.
Why it matters
The film's release highlights the star power of Nayanthara and the competitive nature of the Tamil film industry's release calendar.
The trailer for the upcoming Tamil rom-com, Hi , starring Kavin and Nayanthara , was unveiled by the makers on Thursday (August 20). Also produced by Nayanthara , along with her filmmaker husband Vignesh Shivan, the film is set to release in theatres on August 28. Notably, the film clashes at the box office with yet another Nayanthara starrer, the magnum opus Toxic , which is set to release on August 26.
The trailer of Hi begins with Mayilsamy’s (Kavin) father (played by the late, legendary Bhagyaraj) telling his son that men’s lives fall into three categories: falling in love and getting married; getting married and then falling in love; and neither falling in love nor getting married. We then see shots of Mayil attempting to kill himself because a girl rejected him. When his mother (Radikaa Sarathkumar) asks who she is, Nayanthara’s Devayani enters the frame.
