The 'Retro BTS Comic' Episode 9 is here, and this week's comic feature reveals the behind-the-scenes of Kanimaa song rehearsals with Suriya and Pooja Hegde. 'Retro BTS Comic Ep 9' as revealed on X:

"EP: 009 - During the rehearsals of Kanimaa, Suriya sir was totally in vibe mode! 😃 When choreographer Sheriff Master showed him the steps, Suriya sir asked, “So, this is just the rehearsals, right? Then I can go all out?” And that's exactly what he did, delivering the steps with unmatched energy! 🔥🕺🏻

He stepped away from his retro character just for the rehearsals, bringing pure folk flavor all for his ANBAANA FANS! ❤ Director Karthik Subbaraj even told Joju George, “Look at him, he's totally into the vibe!” To which Joju replied, “Even I'm going full vibe and having fun!” 🤩🥳

And how can we not mention the expression queen Pooja Hegde? 😍 She absolutely slayed every take and every rehearsal. Her moves and expressions are now the talk of the town! 💃🏻🪩

This rehearsal video is not just about dance, it's a celebration, full of energy and pure love from the whole team! 🫶🏻"

Retro written and directed by Karthik Subbaraj releases in theaters on May 1, 2025. The movie is a joint production venture of Suriya 2D Entertainment and Karthik Subbaraj's Stone Bench Films.
