A Cricketer, a Scientist, and a Teacher Face Life's Ultimate Choice in Netflix's Upcoming Tamil Film, 'Test'

A cricketer fueled by passion, a teacher caught between love and duty, and a scientist on the brink of brilliance find their lives intertwined - three lives, three battles, and one ultimate TEST. The gripping trailer of this Netflix film offers a glimpse into a world where every move, every sacrifice, and every ambition hurtles them toward a defining moment. Watch as Saravanan (R. Madhavan) and Kumudha (Nayanthara) navigate the complexities of marriage while pursuing their own dreams, and Arjun (Siddharth) wrestles with the fine line between professional and personal choices, alongside his wife Padma (Meera Jasmine), who fiercely protects their personal space.

Starring these celebrated actors, TEST is helmed by debut director S. Sashikanth and produced by YNOT Studios. As their characters stand at the crossroads of passion, perseverance, and consequence, one decision will define whether they emerge as champions or succumb to the weight of their own choices.

Director S. Sashikanth shares, "Directing TEST as my first film has been an incredible journey - one that tested my own storytelling limits. This isn't just a film about cricket; it's about the human spirit, the choices that shape us, and the fine line between victory and downfall. Bringing this vision to life with such a phenomenal cast made the experience even more special and I'm excited for audiences across the world to witness it on Netflix."

Monika Shergill, Vice-President, Content, Netflix India shares, "Tamil cinema is renowned for its rich, layered storytelling, and Test is a shining example of that legacy. The film masterfully weaves high-stakes sports drama with deeply personal family dynamics, delivering an incredibly moving narrative that puts all its protagonists to the test. S. Sashikanth makes a striking directorial debut, and knowing his vision, we were confident he'd deliver something extraordinary and universal. Test is an unparalleled casting coup - R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, Siddharth, and Meera Jasmine, each a powerhouse performer, uniting on screen for the first time. As our first Tamil original film of this year, Test promises to be a must watch for all audiences across India and the world."

Each of the actors had something to say about their characters and the experience of working together. On playing Saravanan, R. Madhavan says, "Just as my character in TEST is dedicated to his pursuit of scientific breakthroughs, I revel in trying to bring authenticity to the roles I have the privilege to play. TEST captures the relentless pursuit of excellence and the sacrifices made to protect one's legacy. Collaborating with this fantastic team and my bro and debut director S. Sashikanth has been an incredible journey and my experience with Netflix has always been super delightful and charmed. I cannot wait to see how audiences react to this film and to Saravanan as a character."

For Siddharth, portraying Arjun was a journey of passion and challenge. "Cricket has been a love, a passion, and in TEST, it becomes the very heartbeat of my character's journey. My character lives and breathes the sport, but beyond the game, he faces choices that challenge his very core. Every decision comes with a price, and that's what makes this journey so compelling. It's been an honor to be part of this intense, layered story, and to have been part of it since its inception feels even more special. I am excited to show Arjun to audiences across the world."

Nayanthara reflects on her role as Kumudha, sharing, "Some stories stay with you, and TEST is one of them. My character is someone who loves deeply, fights silently and carries the weight of choices that change everything. Stepping into her world was both challenging and deeply rewarding. The trailer has just dropped, and I can't wait for audiences to experience this journey. My relationship with Netflix continues to grow and I am excited for viewers from everywhere to see Kumudha's story.

Making her onscreen comeback as Padma, Meera Jasmine shares, "Returning to films with TEST has been an emotional and fulfilling journey. My character, Padma, is someone who fiercely protects her world, holding onto what matters most to her. Every moment on this journey has been memorable, from working with Siddharth on scenes to now seeing it all come to life, I can't wait for audiences to experience TEST on Netflix."

One decision could turn them into heroes - or cast them as the villains of their own story.

Watch the TEST trailer now! The film premieres April 4th, only on Netflix.

The trailer is available in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada
