Development

[edit]
The film is the first collaboration of Suriya and Karthik Subbaraj.

In late 2021, director Karthik Subbaraj and actor Suriya began having a discussion for a potential collaboration between the two in the future.[3][4] Although they had finalised to collaborate back then, both's respective prior commitments delayed the beginning of the project's production process.[5][6] Following two-and-a-half years later, on 28 March 2024, Karthik announced through his social media accounts that he would join hands with Suriya for his directorial venture after Jigarthanda DoubleX (2023).[7][8] The project would be jointly funded by Karthik, Karthekeyan Santhanam, Kalyan, Subramaniam and Jyothika under their respective headed production houses, Stone Bench Creations and 2D Entertainment.[9][10] The project was kept confidential by the makers until its announcement.[11][12]

Tentatively titled Suriya 44 with the tagline Love, Laughter and War,[13] the production process was set to begin after the actor completed his film with Sudha Kongara, Suriya 43 or Puranaanooru.[14][15] However, a few days later, it was reported that since the start of Kongara's film would take a few more months,[16] they were planning to complete the shooting of the project by then.[17][18] Reportedly set in 1980s,[19] the film was touted to be as a gangster action drama film.[20][21][22] But Karthik clarified that the film is a romance film with lots of action.[23] The film's official title Retro was revealed on 25 December 2024, Christmas day.[24]

Pre-production

[edit]

"It was my long-time wish to make a proper love story. And when I got a chance to make one with Suriya and Pooja Hegde, I became so excited. It definitely involves a lot of action".

 – Karthik Subbaraj, in an interview[25]

Karthik had met Suriya prior to the shooting of Jigarthanda DoubleX and narrated a one-liner, which the latter requested to develop.[26][27] It took him several months for the writing and pre-production.[28] After the release of Jigarthanda DoubleX, Karthik narrated the entire script to the actor.[29]

On the occasion of his birthday (15 May), Santhosh Narayanan was announced as the film's composer by the production house, in his eighth collaboration with the director.[30][31] Shreyaas Krishna was revealed to handle the cinematography on 29 May, in his third collaboration with Karthik after Jagame Thandhiram (2021) and Mahaan (2022).[32][33] In addition to Shreyaas Krishna, the technical crew of art directors Jacki and Mayapandi, editor Shafique Mohamed Ali, stunt choreographer Kecha Khamphakdee and costume designer Praveen Raja were announced the same day.[34][35]

In May 2024, the team shot the promotional video for the film for nearly three days.[36] A casting call was announced by the makers in late April 2024.[37][38] Prior to starting the first shooting schedule, the team had constructed a set at Port Blair located in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, for filming an action sequence.[39][40]

Casting

[edit]
Pooja Hegde was cast to play the lead actress role, pairing opposite Suriya for the first time. Jayaram was also cast in an important role.

Suriya would sport two different looks for the film.[41] One with Fu Manchu moustache and mullet hair,[42][43] and the other in trimmed beard and mustache, with a shorter hairdo.[44] In mid-May, Pooja Hegde was reported to have been cast for the lead actress role, pairing opposite Suriya, in her first film with the latter and Karthik.[45][46] Her inclusion was confirmed on 1 June by the production house.[47][48] It is her third Tamil film after Mugamoodi (2012) and Beast (2022).[49] Hegde would reportedly receive 4 crore (US$480,000)–5 crore (US$600,000) as remuneration.[50][51]

Vijay Kumar, Jayaram and Nassar were reported being part of the cast, with the former reportedly playing the main antagonist.[52][53] Jayaram was confirmed being part of the cast during his arrival for the film's shooting,[54] and the latter while joining the Ooty schedule.[55][56] Karunakaran and Joju George were also cast to play prominent roles,[57] with the former marking his fourth collaboration with Karthik after Pizza (2012), Jigarthanda (2014) and Iraivi (2016),[58] and latter marking his second collaboration with director after Jagame Thandhiram.[59][60] Later it was reported that Prashanth and Prakash Raj would play important roles in the film,[61][62] with latter in his fourth collaboration with Suriya after Nerukku Ner (1997), Singam (2010) and Jai Bhim (2021).[63] Kalidas Jayaram was reportedly cast in for a role that would mark his second on-screen collaboration with father Jayaram after 12 years, after Ente Veedu Appuvinteyum (2003).[64][65] However Rajsekar Pandian, the co-producer of the film denied Prashanth and Kalidas' inclusion,[66] stating "Kalidas came on the last day shoot of Jayaram sir when the team cut a cake that has been misinterpreted."[67] Nandita Das would return to Tamil cinema after a gap of twelve years with this film.[68][69]

Although the makers approached Kannada actor Dhananjaya for a role,[70] he could not sign the project due to scheduling conflicts.[71][72] Malayalam actor Sujith Shankar joined the cast on 22 June 2024.[73] Director Thamizh, Ramachandran Durairaj, Prem Kumar, Sandeep Raj of Vikram and RDX fame and Remya Suresh joined cast for supporting roles.[74][75] Shriya Saran joined the production in August 2024.[76][77] She shot for a song alongside Suriya and others.[78][79]
