Zee 5 Global Releases ‘Hi’, Romantic Pic Starring Nayanthara & Kavin

EXCLUSIVE: Zee 5 Global is today saying Hi to its latest movie premiere.

The Indian content-focused streamer will premiere the pic, which stars Nayanthara and Kavin, today. The pic is billed as “an unconventional yet heartwarming romance that offers a fresh perspective on modern relationships.”

Directed by Vishnu Edavan, the film follows a young man (Kavin), who refuses to give up on finding love despite heartbreak and rejection, and a young woman (Nayanthara) grappling with family challenges while trying to escape an unwanted marriage. When their paths cross, they embark on a heartfelt journey of love, acceptance, and self-discovery.

The film also stars Tamil cinema veterans Radhika Sarathkumar, Prabhu and K. Bhagyaraj, who passed away in June, making Hi his final performance on-screen.

Above you can watch the trailer for the film, which is from Zee Studios, Seven Screen Studio and Rowdy Pictures, the latter of which Nayanthara runs with filmmaker Vignesh Shivan.

The movie released in cinemas in late August and will now stream in all Zee 5 territories, including the U.S. and Canada.

Siju Prabhakaran, Chief Business Officer at Zee 5 Global, said: “At Zee 5 Global, we are committed to bringing audiences stories that are rooted in emotion and connect with viewers across markets. With Hi, we are delighted to present a refreshing take on love, relationships and the complexities that come with them.

“The film brings together Nayanthara and Kavin in a heartfelt story that balances romance, humour and emotion. We look forward to bringing this film to audiences across our global markets and hope it resonates with viewers worldwide.”

Nayanthara said of her role: “The character I play in Hi is someone who is independent, resilient, and deeply grounded in her convictions, yet she carries her own fears and emotional complexities.

“That balance of strength and vulnerability is what made the role so meaningful to me. She is protective of the people she loves, thoughtful in her choices, and someone who learns that opening her heart can be both challenging and beautiful.

Kavin added: “What I loved most about Hi was that it gives us a male protagonist who is unapologetically vulnerable, emotionally honest, and unafraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. In a world where men are often expected to hide their emotions, my character embraces them, making him incredibly real and relatable. He is a young man navigating love, rejection, self-doubt, and the fear of not being enough, all while holding on to the hope of finding a meaningful connection.”
