About Suriya's film Retro

Retro is the first collaboration of director Karthik Subbaraj and Suriya.

Talking about the film ahead of the release, Suriya had shared a message for fans. He clarified at an event that even though his characters smoke in films, he doesn’t endorse the habit in real life.

He said, “Just a word of caution, I am only smoking for the film. Please don’t pick up smoking in real life. Once you start, it’s difficult to quit. You would think one puff is enough, but you can’t stop after that. I will definitely not endorse it, so don’t do that.”

Suriya was last seen in Kanguva, directed by Siva, which did not work as expected at the box office.
