The makers of Hi, directed by Vishnu Edavan and starring Nayanthara and Kavin in the lead roles, announced earlier this Saturday that its first single, titled 'Kannakuzhiya,' will release on April 21, Tuesday. Interestingly, composer-actor GV Prakash is part of the track as a singer. The makers teased the update earlier today with a post, asking people to wait for "a sweet surprise" this evening.
The makers made the announcement with a video where Kavin can be seen entering a room, alongside the film's director Vishnu and composer Jen Martin, and asking the composer to sing a track for their film. In the caption for the announcement, Kavin thanked the composer-actor for the 'help'. "Thanks for the udhavi (help) GV Prakash sir," the actor wrote.
Notably, the song has lyrics by director Vishnu Edavan himself. The promo for the song will drop on Sunday morning.
