We had earlier reported that Suriya will team up with Karthik Subbaraj for his 44th film, titled Retro.

The latest update from the action film, which marks the first collaboration between the actor and director, is that it will release in theatres on May 1. The makers of the film, right when they launched it, officially said the film is planning for a summer 2025 release.

The earlier released teaser of Retro shows Suriya as someone who is short-tempered and is given to violence, who promises to make amends to his girlfriend, played by Pooja Hegde, to save his relationship.

With Santhosh Narayanan as the music composer, the technical crew of the film crew comprises cinematographer Shreyaas Krishna, editor Shafique Mohamed, art director Jackson, action choreographer Kecha Khamphakdee, and costume designer Praveen Raja.

In addition to Retro, Suriya has also started working on his 45th film, directed by RJ Balaji.
