CHENNAI:The first single from Hi, titled Kannakuzhiya and composed by Jen Martin, will be released on April 21, the makers announced on the occasion of Tamil New Year, while confirming a May theatrical release for the film.

Starring Nayanthara and Kavin, the film is directed by Vishnu Edavan, a former associate of Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Hi is produced by 7 Screen Studios and Rowdy Pictures, the banner owned by Vignesh Sivan.

Speaking to the media earlier, Kavin called Hi “a normal love story, a family entertainer", while dismissing the speculation about it being a love story between a youngster and a woman who is older than him.

 Meanwhile, director Vishnu Edavan in a recent interview said he always wanted to make movies like Yaaradi Nee Mohini and Santosh Subramaniam, adding that Hi has been made in that style. "I wanted to make a simple love story that makes people smile," he said.

The director also added that he wrote the story of Hi keeping Nayanthara in mind from the start.

The film is currently in its final stages of post-production.
