Retro Press Conference: South superstar Suriya is soon arriving with his action-packed thriller film "Retro". On Tuesday, April 29, a press conference was held in Mumbai ahead of the film’s release, where the entire team of the film was present. On this special occasion, Suriya, director Karthik Subbaraj, music composer Santhosh Narayanan, and producer Jayantilal Gada, among others, graced the event.

Handsome as Always – Suriya

At the event, Suriya looked as handsome as ever. He wore a dark blue shirt paired with white pants—a simple yet stylish combination. His look was further elevated with black sunglasses, adding a cool vibe.

Suriya Explains the Meaning of ‘Retro’

As the event kicked off, the host asked Suriya, “What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘Retro’?”
Suriya responded, “Retro means going back to the past. In Tamil, we call it "Pinno ki paarthal". For me, retro is about cherishing memories – especially my college days! That phase when you're trying to understand life, searching for your path, and everything is starting from zero.”

Romance is the Soul of the Film

Director Karthik Subbaraj, clearly delighted by the audience’s enthusiasm, revealed that at its core, Retro is about love, though it also includes layers of comedy, action, and emotion.
He shared, “The film’s tagline is Love, Laughter, and War. We want audiences to have a complete theatrical experience, which is why we’re holding back on revealing too much of the story.”

Producer Jayantilal Gada added, “Even though the trailer is already out, the massive crowd here shows the love people have for Suriya sir.”
He also said, “After presenting films like RRR, Gangubai, PS1, PS2, and Jawan, it is a matter of pride for me to bring Retro to the audience.”

Non-Stop Dance Sequence

During the event, Suriya spoke about a special single-shot scene in the film which features 15 minutes of continuous dance, action, and dialogue.
He said this particular scene is very close to his heart and will offer the audience an unforgettable theatrical moment.

Changes in the ‘Kanimaa’ Song

Music composer Santhosh Narayanan talked about the song ‘Kanimaa’, revealing that he made a few changes just a day before the final cut, as the music didn’t seem to sync well with the video.
He described the track as a “celebratory song” and expressed his happiness that fans have embraced it so warmly.

‘Retro’ is all set to hit cinemas on May 1, 2025. Starring Suriya and actress Pooja Hegde, the film promises a mix of nostalgia, thrill, and heart.
