Despite Kanguva failing badly, Suriya-led Retro succeeded in generating interest among the Tamil audience. Karthik Subbaraj directed this romantic action entertainer, which features star actress Pooja Hegde as the female lead. The bookings commenced yesterday in Tamil Nadu and Telugu states.
The initial momentum looks strong in the home market, as the advances have crossed Rs. 3 crores for the opening day. The movie has already sold over 100K tickets on the Book My Show portal, suggesting the film has solid demand. Retro could well be Suriya’s highest opener worldwide, provided the reports are good.
It will be interesting to see how this Kollywood biggie fares in Telugu since it is clashing with Nani’s much-awaited HIT 3. Jyotika and Suriya produced Retro under the banner of 2D Entertainment. Santosh Narayanan composed the music. Jayaram, Joju George, Karunakaran, Prakash Raj, Nassar, and Swasika played supporting roles.
