Film producer S. Sashikanth of YNOT Studios is all set to turn a director with the rather alluring project Test.

Test, a Tamil film, will feature R. Madhavan, Nayanthara and Siddharth in what can be termed a sports drama which is set against the backdrop of cricket.

S. Sashikanth has previously worked with both Madhavan (Irudhi Suttru, Vikram Vedha) and Siddharth (Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi, Kaaviya Thalaivan but it would interesting to see how he utilizes their talents in the upcoming feature. Netizens and fans, however, are more excited about the fact Test reunites the two actors after a considerable gap - Siddharth and Madhavan were last together in the 2006 cult classic Rang De Basanti, alongside Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi, Soha Ali Khan, Atul Kulkarni, Kunal Kapoor and Alice Patten.

Prior to that, the two were also part of the central cast of Mani Ratnam's 2004 film Aayutha Ezhuthu.
