Pen has a long-standing connection with Suriya, and it's always a pleasure to collaborate. We also share a strong bond with Stone Bench, and we’re happy to be part of this journey.”

With music by Santhosh Narayanan and a stellar supporting cast including Jayaram, Joju George, and Shriya Saran, Retro is shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of 2025. Fans can mark their calendars for May 1, when the film hits theatres worldwide.
