The much-awaited first single from Suriya's upcoming film Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj is all set to drop tomorrow, February 13 at 5 pm. Sharing the announcement, the Jigarthanda director released a short promo of the song titled 'Kannadi Poove' which features the actor as a convict inside a jail.
In the video, Suriya stands on top of a water tank and dances to a melancholic tune that seems to signify an intense heartbreak and the agony that followed him. Many on social media were quick to draw comparisons with the song to the actor's earlier hit songs 'Ava Enna' from Vaaranam Aayiram and 'Yamma Yamma' from 7aum Arivu.
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.
Produced by Suriya-Jyotika's 2D Entertainment and Karthik Subbaraj's Stone Bench Films, Retro also stars Jayaram, Nasser, Prakash Raj, Sujith Shankar, Karunakaran, Tamizh, Prem Kumar, Ramachandran Durairaj, Sandeep Raj, Murugavel, and Remya Suresh, among others.
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. Retro is all set for release in theatres on May 1.
In addition to Retro, Suriya has also started working on his 45th film, directed by RJ Balaji.
