Suriya’s recent announcement about the release date for his upcoming film Retro has generated excitement among fans while also drawing attention to an interesting turn of events involving Rajinikanth's upcoming film Coolie.

Previously, Suriya postponed the release of Kanguva to accommodate Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyaan, despite having announced his release date first.

Now, in a curious reversal, reports suggest that Coolie might be delayed, prompting Suriya and the makers of Retro to lock the vacated summer release slot.

Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Retro is billed as a thrilling romantic action drama, with Pooja Hegde playing the female lead. The film’s team has been waiting for an optimal release window, and this sudden opportunity seems to have come at the right time.

By announcing the May 1st release, Suriya is poised to capitalize on the lucrative summer season, which has historically been favorable for Tamil blockbusters.
