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.”
The film is set to drop on Netflix on April 4, 2025.
