Kollywood star Suriya plays the lead role in Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, with Pooja Hegde as the female lead.
Produced under the 2D Entertainment banner, headed by Suriya and Jyothika, the film is set for a grand worldwide release on May 1.
Notably, prominent Telugu production house Sitara Entertainments is handling the distribution of the film in the Telugu states.
On Saturday evening, a grand pre-release event was held at JRC Convention in Hyderabad, with popular actor Vijay Deverakonda attending as the chief guest.
Speaking at the event, Vijay Deverakonda said, "Before talking about the film, I would like to pay my respects to the victims of the Pahalgam incident. I’m happy to be here to promote Suriya anna's movie. I fell in love with his acting after watching Ghajini. I was curious to know more about him and went on to watch all his other films. Suriya Son of Krishnan remains especially close to my heart."
He added, "The 'Chanchala' song moved me deeply and remains a beautiful memory. Watching Suriya anna on screen, I was in awe of his physique, acting, and dancing skills. I once dreamed of meeting him, and now, sharing the stage with him is truly an unforgettable moment. I admire him deeply as an actor. I wish him immense success with Retro."
Suriya, in his speech, said, "First, I offer my condolences to the victims of the Pahalgam tragedy. Thank you to everyone who came to the Retro event. I’m overwhelmed by the love you’ve been showing me. Karthik Subbaraj’s films are always unique and innovative, and it was a joy working with him. I hope you all enjoyed the Retro trailer. Just like in the trailer, the movie will have love, comedy, action, and intensity. I believe Retro will win your hearts on May 1."
