Chennai, March 25:
The much-anticipated trailer of Test, Netflix’s upcoming Tamil original film, was unveiled on Tuesday, featuring a powerhouse trio — R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, and Siddharth — in a compelling drama that goes beyond cricket and dives into human ambition, sacrifice, and relationships.
Directed by debutant S. Sashikanth, Test explores how the lives of a cricketer, a scientist, and a school teacher collide under extraordinary circumstances, forcing each of them to confront their deepest dilemmas.
“Test as my first film has been an incredible journey — one that tested my own storytelling limits,” said Sashikanth in a press note. “It’s not just about cricket; it’s about the human spirit and the choices that define our lives.”
Story at a Glance:
The trailer introduces Siddharth as Arjun, a cricketer at a career crossroads; R. Madhavan as Saravanan, a scientist fighting to keep his project afloat; and Nayanthara as Kumudha, Saravanan’s wife, caught between love and the weight of life-changing decisions.
The official synopsis teases:
“Three lives. Three battles. One ultimate TEST.” The story unfolds as each character is tested by ambition, duty, and personal sacrifice. Also starring Meera Jasmine as Padma, Arjun’s wife, the film captures complex family dynamics and high-stakes drama.

R. Madhavan shared,
“Just as my character is committed to scientific breakthroughs, I strive for authenticity in every role. Test captures the relentless pursuit of excellence and the legacy we strive to protect.”
