The upcoming Tamil film Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, which has been certified U/A with a runtime of 2 hours and 48 minutes, signaling a blend of romance and action set in the 1990s, as confirmed by Subbaraj’s earlier statements on the film’s genre. The image in the post appears to show a behind-the-scenes moment from Retro, featuring a person in a red shirt with a bandaged hand, suggesting an intense action sequence, aligning with the film’s promise of five action blocks, a detail noted in the trending summary. Retro’s release on May 1, 2025, coincides with a strategic summer window, a shift from its initial Pongal release plan, likely to maximize audience turnout, as Tamil films often see higher box office numbers during this period, with Subbaraj’s past hits like Jigarthanda earning over ₹30 crore in similar slots.
