The movie also features Pooja Hegde, Jayaram, Joju George, Karunakaran, Nassar, and Sujith Shankar in crucial roles.
On the occasion of Christmas, the team shared the title of the film and a two-minute teaser.
The teaser released earlier opens with Suriya and Pooja Hegde, with the former promising the latter that he will control his temper, stop working with his father, and also quit violence, rowdyism and hooliganism.
He further asks her to marry him and promises to laugh and smile, and says, “The purpose of my birth, in your language my Dharmam is to love pure love.”
Parallel to his words, the teaser shows scenes of violence involving actors Nassar and Prakash Raj. The teaser ends with a serious-looking Suriya. The poster of the film, however, shows a blood-soaked Suriya.
The film wrapped up shooting in October and has been in post-production. Retro’s original background score and soundtrack are composed by Santhosh Narayanan, cinematography by Shreyaas Krishna and editing by Shafique Mohamed Ali.
Suriya was last seen in Kanguva. The action entertainer opened to mixed reviews, with many complaining of sound issues and a lack of a strong story. Recently it has been named in the longlist of Oscar’s Best Picture category.
He is currently working on a film with RJ Balaji, tentatively titled Suriya 45. It is anticipated to be an action thriller. In November, the film’s shoot started with a pooja ceremony at the Sri Masaniamman Temple in Pollachi. RJ Balaji is known for the 2022 film Veetla Vishesham.
