Suriya’s most anticipated Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, which was released in theaters on May 1st, has received mixed responses from audiences and is heading towards a theatrical failure.
Retro was produced by Suriya’s 2D Entertainment and Karthik Subbaraj’s Stone Bench Films. Now, Suriya has donated ₹10 crore from the film’s profits to his Agaram Foundation for the welfare and educational purposes of poor students.
