Celebratory moment from the set of Retro, a Tamil film directed by Karthik Subbaraj, featuring Suriya and Pooja Hegde, with the image showing a cake-cutting scene likely marking a milestone in the film's production, such as the completion of a key shooting schedule. The post mentions the use of "extended single shot scenes" in Retro, a technique praised in cinema for its immersive quality, as noted in a 2023 Collider article ranking the best one-shot scenes, like the 10-minute combat sequence in Atomic Blonde, suggesting Retro aims for a technically ambitious visual style. Retro, set in the 1990s, blends romance and action, as per its Wikipedia page, and is produced by Stone Bench Creations and 2D Entertainment, with its teaser garnering over 10 million views in 24 hours, indicating high anticipation ahead of its May 1, 2025 release, which coincides with Ajith Kumar’s birthday, adding a layer of cultural significance for Tamil cinema fans.
