ZEE5 Global has announced its newest Tamil original series Heartiley Battery, a romantic sci-fi drama premiering worldwide on December 16.
The global platform, known for championing South Asian storytelling, confirmed that the series will stream across more than 190 countries.
Written and directed by Sadasivam Senthil Rajan, the show blends science, emotion, unexpected chemistry and modern romance refreshingly.
The trailer was launched by Vijay Antony and Aju Varghese, adding further excitement to the upcoming release.
Heartiley Battery stars Guru Lakshman as Sid and Padine Kumar as Sofia, promising a heartfelt and engaging journey.
The series follows Sofia, a brilliant science enthusiast who has always seen love as a mix of pure biology and chemistry.
Her perception is shaped by fractured relationships around her, including her own parents’ struggles that left her questioning emotional certainty.
At just sixteen, she begins dreaming of creating a device capable of scientifically measuring love’s authenticity.
That ambition leads her to invent the device eight years later, setting the stage for a concept that feels both timely and intriguing.
Her world shifts when she meets Sid, a comic writer who dismisses her invention entirely.
Their dynamic shapes the heart of the series, exploring whether love can ever be decoded by science.
Sid champions instinct, emotion and the unexplainable magic that often defines real connections.
Sofia remains determined to prove that understanding love is possible through logic and measurable patterns.
The storytelling raises an evergreen question that resonates deeply with South Asian viewers.
Can science genuinely unravel the complex language of the heart?
Guru Lakshman shared his excitement about portraying Sid, describing him as a character who embraces vulnerability while celebrating romance.
He explained that the role allowed him to balance humour with tender emotional beats.
Lakshman said the series goes beyond a typical love story and focuses on discovering what the heart truly desires.
He added that he looks forward to audiences experiencing this journey with him.
Padine Kumar spoke about her connection to Sofia, a character she finds deeply relatable and compelling.
She described Sofia as brilliant and driven, yet quietly afraid of emotional uncertainty.
Kumar said playing her required exploring complexity and self-discovery while navigating the tension between logic and feeling.
She felt fulfilled by the role and believes viewers will connect strongly with Sofia’s perspective.

Xavier noted that Tamil audiences consistently embrace fresh ideas and heartfelt stories.
