Suriya is gearing up for his next big-banner project Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj. The film is slated for a theatrical release on May 1 and has already garnered considerable attention from fans. Recently, the makers organised a pre-release event, which culminated with the launch of the film’s trailer.

At the event, Suriya took centre stage to share his thoughts with fans and the entire team. He also made sure to give a special shoutout to his beloved wife Jyotika, whom he adorably referred to as his ‘Kannadi Poo’.

In his words, “There’ll be many layers in the film with love – laughter – war… I’m here because of you all… I’m here because of your love… And thanks to my ‘Kannadi Poo’ Jo… My journey wouldn’t be a happier one without her.”

For the unversed, ‘Kannadi Poo’ is a term of endearment and also the hook phrase from one of Suriya’s songs in Retro, which features Pooja Hegde.

Coming back to the film’s trailer, the 2-minute 42-second clip from Retro showcases Suriya in an extraordinary role as a gangster who cannot seem to stay away from violence and fights.
