Despite featuring popular South Indian actors like Siddharth, Nayanthara, and Madhavan, the film has generated little buzz, and the team has failed to build hype among audiences.
A direct OTT release for a notable film is rare in the post-COVID era, as most movies, including medium-budget ones, have opted for theatrical releases first. Strong speculation suggests that Test was initially planned for a theatrical run but was shelved due to financial constraints, leading the team to opt for a Netflix release.
