Suriya is going through a rough patch in his career. His previous release, Kanguva, was criticized heavily and ended up as a huge flop. The actor will be next seen in a film directed by Karthik Subbaraj. Fans pinned hopes on Karthik Subbaraj’s film, a love story packed with action elements. On the eve of Christmas, the makers revealed the title teaser, which is over two minutes long.
The biggie is titled Retro, and the title teaser hints at a solid comeback of Suriya. As the title suggests, the movie is set in the period backdrop. Suriya and the film’s leading Pooja Hegde can be seen sitting on the holy ghats of Kasi discussing their relationship. Suriya tells Pooja that he will try to control his anger, quit working with his gangster father, and leave hooliganism for the latter.
It can be understood that Suriya plays a role with negative shades, who decides to give up everything for her lady love. We are shown glimpses of the underworld, which the protagonist has been a part of earlier. Suriya realizes that love is the very purpose of his love. After revealing everything about him, the protagonist asks the leading lady for her hand in marriage.
Karthik Subbaraj seems to have penned a solid characterization for Suriya with dual shades. The visuals, background score, and editing are on point. The production values and cinematography are too good. What’s more impressive is that Pooja Hegde appears to have got a strong and narrative-changing role.
Joju George, Jayaram, and Karunakaran are playing vital roles. Santosh Narayan is composing the tunes. Jyotika and Suriya are producing Retro under the banner of 2D Entertainment. The movie is scheduled to hit the big screens in Summer 2025.
