Tamil superstar Suriya showered accolades on his wife Jyotika during the launch of the Retro trailer. The film, in which Suriya portrays a gangster, is set to premiere on May 1.
Suriya expressed his appreciation for his wife and co-producer of Retro, Jyotika.
Renowned for his open declarations of love for his wife Jyotika, Tamil actor Suriya continued this tradition at the recent trailer launch of his new project, Retro. In front of an enthusiastic audience and media representatives, Suriya discussed the film’s themes and concluded with a heartfelt message for his beloved, whom he affectionately refers to as ‘Kannadi Poo’ (glass flower). Notably, the actor is co-producing the film alongside her.
While discussing the film, Suriya highlighted a song titled “Kannadi Poove” and conveyed his deep gratitude towards Jyotika. He stated, “The film will feature various elements – including love, laughter, and conflict – so I hope you enjoy it. I owe my presence here to all of you. Your support means the world to me. And I must also express my heartfelt thanks to my ‘Kannadi Poo’ Jo; my journey wouldn’t have been as fulfilling without her.”

The trailer for Retro has generated significant excitement among fans. In this film, Suriya steps into the shoes of a local gangster who, while promising his love, portrayed by Pooja Hegde, to abandon his violent past, finds himself drawn back into chaos. A particularly striking line from his character captures the film’s emotional weight: “Years apart have transformed her into a Buddha and me into a demon.” Suriya’s performance promises to bring depth to his character, making the film a must-see this season.
Retro is a collaborative effort between Suriya and Jyotika, produced under their company, 2D Entertainment. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, the film is anticipated for a significant theatrical release on May 1.
