en Bollywood News Retro Trailer: Suriya and Pooja Hegde dive into a tale of love, loss and gangland violence

The trailer for Retro, the upcoming action drama starring Suriya and Pooja Hegde, has been officially released, offering audiences a glimpse into a world of 90s nostalgia, gritty gangster politics, and emotional upheaval. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, the film appears to combine high-octane action with emotional complexity, aiming to strike a balance between old-school romance and intense drama.

Set against the backdrop of a stylized 90s-era underworld, the trailer introduces viewers to Suriya's character - an intense figure navigating a violent path that leads to both power and peril. Through sharp visuals and a strong sense of period aesthetics, the trailer builds a narrative that appears to centre on loyalty, conflict, and a love story caught in the crossfire.

Pooja Hegde plays the female lead, stepping into a role that, while romantic on the surface, carries its own emotional weight. Her character is seen pleading with her partner to abandon the life of violence and crime, hoping to build a future free from bloodshed. However, the trailer suggests that her pleas are in vain, as Suriya’s character becomes increasingly consumed by his surroundings, adding strain to their relationship.


Rather than being sidelined, Hegde’s role in Retro seems to carry a strong emotional arc. The trailer showcases her moving through a range of emotions - from hope and affection to disillusionment and grief. Her presence serves as both a grounding force and a reflection of the personal cost that comes with a life entangled in crime and vengeance.

The trailer has generated significant buzz among fans, particularly for its visual tone and period-specific styling. The blend of stylised violence, intense drama, and a soundtrack reminiscent of 90s cinema helps Retro carve its identity within the gangster genre.

Retro is slated for a theatrical release on May 1, positioning it as a major summer release in the Tamil film calendar. While Suriya’s fans have long awaited his return in a mass-action avatar, the trailer also marks a notable shift for Pooja Hegde, who is taking on a role that leans more on emotional storytelling than glamour.
