Karthik Subbaraj teases Suriya’s Retro and what to expect: ‘I’m genuinely curious to see how the audience will…’

The much-anticipated movie “Retro,” featuring Suriya in the lead role, is set to premiere on May 1, 2025. In preparation for its launch, director Karthik Subbaraj has offered a sneak peek into what viewers can look forward to.

In an interview with Cinema Vikatan, the director shared his thoughts, stating, “I think ‘Retro’ is my most commercially oriented film since ‘Petta.’ Although I always aim for a blend of mainstream appeal and artistic cinema aspects, ‘Retro’ veers more towards commercial success. I’m eager to discover how the audience reacts to it and hope that everything works out favorably.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share that the upcoming film “Retro” is generating quite the buzz. This production promises a blend of romance and action, with none other than Suriya steering the ship as the main protagonist. Interestingly, this is Karthik Subbaraj’s debut collaboration with Suriya, making it an exciting venture to watch unfold. Additionally, Pooja Hegde graces the screen as our leading lady, adding another layer of intrigue to this highly anticipated release.

In the film “Retro,” a diverse group of talented actors such as Joju George, Jayaram, Karunakaran, Nassar, Prakash Raj, Sujith Shankar, Singampuli, and several others take on significant roles.

In this movie, the music has been skillfully created by Santhosh Narayanan, and the producers have already shared three of these songs with us. The camera work is under the care of Shreyaas Krishna, while the editor responsible for the final cut is Shafique Mohamed Ali.

Retro is slated to stream on Netflix following its theatrical run.

Regarding Suriya’s latest projects, the actor recently starred in the movie “Kanguva,” helmed by director Siva. This film narrated the tale of a seasoned bounty hunter who shared an enigmatic bond with a young child spanning through different eras.

The project signified the first Tamil films for Bobby Deol and Disha Patani, but despite creating a stir, it ended up receiving modest evaluations from critics and struggled to succeed at the ticket counter.

At present, Suriya is working on a movie provisionally known as Suriya45, which is being helmed by director RJ Balaji. The beautiful Trisha Krishnan has been chosen to play the female protagonist in this film.

Meanwhile, Karthik Subbaraj last directed Jigarthanda DoubleX, which was released in 2023.
