Nayanthara Romances the Younger Kavin in ‘Hi’
Vishnu Edavan’s first outing as a director is the latest in a line of ‘age-defying’ love stories
Upcoming romantic drama Hi, starring Nayanthara and Raj, who is her junior by some years, is particularly interesting because Nayanthara actually plays a woman in love with a younger man. Nayanthara is 41 in real life, while Kavin is 36.
Other Tamil and Telugu films share the ‘age-defying’ label.
