Kollywood actor Suriya’s Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, is scheduled to open in cinemas on May 1. The movie has good hype in Tamil, but the same cannot be said about the Telugu version. The unusual theatrical trailer has somewhat affected the buzz here. Now, Retro badly needs solid promotions to pique the interest of Telugu movie buffs.
Naga Vamsi is releasing this flick in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The makers have rightly chosen youth heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda as the chief guest for the pre-release event, which happens on April 26 in Hyderabad. As Vijay Devarakonda is now doing Kingdom under Sithara Entertainments, this decision isn’t much of a surprise.
Retro wrapped up its censor formalities with a U/A certificate, and the approved runtime is 168 minutes (2 hours and 48 minutes). Pooja Hegde is the female lead. Jyotika and Suriya produced this biggie under the banner of 2D Entertainment. Santosh Narayan is the music composer.
