Retro: Karthik Subbaraj pens gratitude note on Suriya-Pooja Hegde starrer’s success; says he was ‘really overwhelmed’

From its debut, the movie “Retro,” featuring Suriya and Pooja Hegde, has been a big hit at the box office. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, it appears that the film has resonated well with viewers.

Currently, the director has openly expressed his deep feelings regarding the triumph of Retro via a post on X. He unveiled a movie poster and penned down his astonishment over the tremendous reception for this blend of romance and action.

He expressed, “From the depths of our hearts, a heartfelt thank you to everyone in the audience who filled theaters with thunderous cheers, applause, and an abundance of love. You helped us secure #TheOneWon! Although we’re only beginning our journey, I feel compelled to express my gratitude as I was truly moved…

In just its first few days in theaters, the movie featuring Suriya has brought in approximately 20.50 crores rupees, and it’s predicted to surpass the 40-crore mark by the end of the weekend.

It appears that Retro is gaining significant popularity as more and more people are heading to cinemas to watch it. Given the positive response on social media, it seems the film could be well on its path to becoming a massive success.

Some people have noted that the song and entertainment aspects fit seamlessly with Karthik Subbaraj’s distinctive approach, while others have praised the powerful individual performances given by the actors.

Previously, filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj revealed during an interview with Galatta Plus that the original script for “Retro” was packed with action scenes and had been initially designed for superstar Rajinikanth.

But once Suriya became involved in the project, it necessitated substantial revisions to incorporate a romantic aspect into the plot.

Consequently, Retro might seem like just an ordinary action movie at first glance, but the romantic aspect significantly contributes to the plot – and Pooja Hegde has skillfully portrayed this heartfelt dimension.
