Retro, starring Tamil superstar Suriya in the lead role, will reportedly arrive on the OTT platform soon after its successful theatrical run. Despite receiving mixed response, the movie had a good run at the box office. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, the movie also stars Pooja Hegde, Joju George, Jayaram and Karunakaran.
According to OTTplay, Retro will release on Netflix on June 5, 2025. Both makers and the OTT platform are yet to announce the official streaming date of Retro.
It was rumoured that Retro was first offered to Thalapathy Vijay. But director Karthik Subbaraj clarified that the movie was not written for Vijay but for superstar Rajinikanth. In an interview, he revealed, “This story was not written for Thalapathy Vijay sir, as being speculated. I wrote this script keeping in mind Thalaivar. Initially, it was more in the action zone to suit Thalaivar’s image. After narrating it to Suriya sir, it was changed to a love story. Even Suriya sir asked me if I narrated the script to Rajinikanth sir.”
Apart from Suriya and Pooja, the movie also stars Karunakaran, Nassar, Prakash Raj, Joju George, Jayaram, Sujith Shankar, and Singampuli in key roles. Shriya Saran will be seen in a cameo role.
On the work front, Suriya was last seen in the movie ‘Kanguva’ but it did not work well at the box office. The movie also starred Bobby Deol, Disha Patani, Natty Subramaniam, K. S. Ravikumar, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, Ravi Raghavendra and Karunas.
