Amazon Prime Video has announced its next Tamil project. Titled Exam, the series will co-star Dushara Vijayan and Aditi Balan, with Abbas in a special role.
The series, which credits director-duo Pushkar and Gayatri as creative producers, will be produced under the banner of Wallwatcher Films. The seven-episode series will be written and directed by National Award-winner A. Sarkunam, "who promises a tense, emotionally charged suspense drama set against the pressure-filled environment of a competitive exam," according to a press note. The filmmaker has helmed Tamil movies such as Kalavani, Vaagai Sooda Vaa, Galatta Family, and Pattathu Arasan.
Exam will stream on Prime Video in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide in Tamil, with dubs in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada.
“Exam is a very timely and relevant story that captures the emotional intensity of competitive exams and masterfully transforms it into a thrilling high-stakes drama. We believe it is a story that will resonate deeply with millions. It’s a privilege to once again collaborate with Pushkar and Gayatri after the success of Suzhal—The Vortex season 1 and 2, and Vadhandhi—The Fable of Velonie. We are excited to bring this story to our customers across the world on May 15,” said Nikhil Madhok, Director & Head of Originals, Prime Video, India, in the press note.
With Exam, the idea was to dig into complex moral crossroads people often face, added Pushkar-Gayatri. “At the heart of this story is a young woman who refuses to remain powerless. Her journey is not about glamorising defiance, but about exploring the emotional and ethical cost of standing up to a system stacked against her. Prime Video has been an incredible collaborator in taking our stories global before, and we believe it’s the perfect home to bring Exam to audiences worldwide.”
