I hope you enjoy watching Retro in theatres because I have immense respect for Suriya sir and I admire Karthik's (Karthik Subbaraj) work. They will surely create some magic on screen.”

“A fantastic weekend can accommodate two films. So, after enjoying ‘Retro’, I assure you that you will have a great experience in theatres with ‘Hit 3’. In Telugu, we are also set to deliver, and I hope ‘Retro’ performs well in Telugu too. I want not just ‘Retro’ and ‘Hit 3’ to succeed, but also ‘Raid 2’, which is releasing in Hindi. I envision May 1 as a day where every movie across the country does exceptionally well, attracting audiences back to theatres in droves, as all three films are thrilling and possess great content. I wish for that day to be celebrated as a grand movie watching day.”
