Tamil superstar Suriya is gearing up for the release of his much-awaited film, Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj. The film, set to hit theaters on May 1, 2025, has already created significant buzz. Adding to the excitement, Sithara Entertainments has now acquired the Telugu states’ distribution rights.
Sithara Entertainments Takes Over Telugu Distribution
Sithara Entertainments, known for successfully distributing films like Leo and Devara, is now bringing Retro to Telugu audiences. This move is crucial for Suriya, as his last film, Kanguva, failed to perform well in Telugu markets, affecting his box office reputation. However, Retro promises to change that, especially with a strong promotional strategy backed by a top distributor.
Sithara has a history of handling big-budget releases effectively, ensuring wide reach and high visibility in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Their involvement hints at a massive theatrical rollout, which could help Suriya re-establish his dominance in Telugu cinema.
A Star-Studded Cast & Power-Packed Storyline
Retro is a gangster action thriller, produced by Suriya’s own 2D Entertainment. The film boasts a stellar cast, including Pooja Hegde, Joju George, Jayaram, Nassar, Prakash Raj, Nandita Das, and Karunakaran. Shriya Saran is also making a special dance appearance.
Adding to the film’s appeal, Santhosh Narayanan has composed the music, ensuring a gripping background score and powerful songs. Given Karthik Subbaraj’s reputation for crafting stylish and intense thrillers, expectations are high for Retro.
Strategic Move for Suriya’s Telugu Debut
Apart from Retro, Suriya is also set to make his official Telugu debut under the Sithara banner in a film directed by Venky Atluri. The success of Retro could play a key role in shaping his future in Telugu cinema. If the film performs well, it will set the stage for a blockbuster launch of his first direct Telugu film.
With a compelling story, a strong ensemble cast, and a trusted distributor, Retro is expected to make a big impact. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if this film will be the comeback hit Suriya needs.
