Suriya is gearing up for his next big release, Retro, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest events. The romantic action entertainer has everyone talking—and for good reason. This marks Suriya’s first-ever collaboration with Karthik Subbaraj, the mastermind behind hits like Rajinikanth’s Petta and Vikram’s Mahaan.
Suriya’s Retro Set for a Grand Launch on Ajith Kumar’s Birthday
Big news, folks! Retro, starring Suriya, is all set to hit theaters on May 1. Director Karthik Subbaraj dropped the announcement on social media with a brand-new poster of the film, captioned, “The One from May One!! #Retro.” Simple, dramatic, and enough to set the internet buzzing.
The poster gives us a glimpse of Suriya in a fierce, no-nonsense avatar, ready to throw down. If the vibe is anything to go by, Retro promises intense action and plenty of fireworks. And here’s a fun coincidence—May 1 also happens to be Ajith Kumar’s birthday. With his unmatched style and commanding screen presence, Ajith is practically royalty in Kollywood. A Retro release on the same day? Kollywood fans are in for a double treat.
Pooja Hegde’s Unique Role and a Stellar Supporting Cast
Pooja Hegde stars opposite Suriya, marking their first on-screen collaboration. Word is, she’ll be sporting a de-glam, natural look in the film. Add Joju George, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, and Nassar to the mix, and you’ve got a cast loaded with talent. Oh, and did we mention Santhosh Narayanan is handling the music? That’s another win for the soundtrack lovers out there. Mark the date—May 1 is shaping up to be a blockbuster day for Tamil cinema!
It Could Suriya’s Great Comeback!
Suriya’s had a bit of a rough patch lately. His last release, Kanguva, didn’t exactly set the box office on fire. The fantasy drama, directed by Siva, explored reincarnation but missed the mark with audiences and critics alike. A tough blow for an actor known for his consistent hits.
But hey, every star has their ups and downs, right? And Suriya’s already gearing up for a comeback. His next biggie, Retro, is creating all the right buzz. With Karthik Subbaraj at the helm, it’s looking like a potential game-changer. And that’s not all—he’s also got a film with RJ Balaji in the pipeline. Could this be the start of a winning streak? Suriya’s fans sure hope so.
Conclusion
Retro is set to release on Thala Ajith’s birthday, May 1 and it is going to be one of those days that Tamil cinema fans will not know whether to bring a cake to cut or popcorn to pop – or possibly both. Following the less than warm welcome of Kanguva, Suriya appears to be up for the challenge to prove that lightning doesn’t strike twice, joining hands with eccentric director Karthik Subbaraj. Although the actor’s newly developed muscles suggest that breaking into dance numbers won’t be his main priority any time soon, fans are looking forward to this story to send him back to the block buster days.
FAQs
Q1: What’s all this buzz about Retro?
A: Picture this: Tamil cinema’s Suriya joining hands with a director for the first time in his career, Karthik Subbaraj of Petta and Mahaan fame. It’s a romantic action entertainer that has caught the eye of everyone. It’s like watching two giants, who have been set up on a blind date by the fans for years now. Besides, unlike most Bollywood films, this isn’t a shiny, polished product with Pooja Hegde even going de-glam for her part.
Q2: Why is the May 1 release date significant?
A: It was a double celebration of sorts. Incidentally, May 1 is the birthday of Thala Ajith Kumar which is a special day for all Tamil cinema lovers. It’s like organizing a party and then realizing that it is also the birthday of the person living next door – only in this case, the person living next door is one of the biggest stars of Kollywood. People would be equally dividing their cake cutting time between Ajith birthday specials and Retro first day first shows.
Q3: How crucial is this film for Suriya?
A: We can all be honest– Suriya’s last film Kanguva came crashing down as smoothly as a penguin on roller skates. With Retro, he’s looking to come back even harder than a rubber band. Based on his past and the fact that Karthik Subbaraj has an enviable success rate, this may well be the return narrative Tamil cinema needed. No pressure, though!
