"EPI 010: Offscreen Magicians of RETRO! 🎬✨


When Suriya sir asked, “Is the team ready?”  Karthik Subbaraj, mimicking one of Suriya’s old iconic dialogues, smiled & said,  “Sir, we’re just 10 people… but we’re always ready. We can do anything!” 😎🔥 


Jackie – The Set Magician 🏗️🎨  


Jackie doesn’t just build sets, he creates whole new worlds. Even when the director says it’s enough, Jackie keeps adding more. 😂  He puts in double the effort & makes every frame look rich and beautiful. He is the star behind the art direction. 🙌


Sherif Master – The Dance Wizard 💃🏻🪄  


The Kanima hook step was not just a dance move, it felt like a magic spell that reached across the world. 🌍✨  Sherif Master doesn’t just teach dance steps, he brings magic to the stage. Everyone started dancing without even realizing it. 😄🕺


Mayapandi – The Design Magician 🧠🎥  He speaks softly but works with great power. Whatever the director imagines, he turns it into reality with his own creative touch.  He is Pandiyaa’s most trusted person and a true master in production design. 🎬🔥


Shafique Mohamed Ali – The Edit Wizard ✂️🎞️  


He is quick like scissors & fast like lightning. ⚡  He cuts & joins scenes perfectly & brings magic to the screen.  He works with full focus and makes sure everything flows smoothly. 🧙‍♂️


Shreyas - The cameraman who brings the magic to every shot. 🤩


Pravin – The Style Illusionist 👕🕶️  


He may be quiet, but his fashion work speaks loudly. Because of him, Suriya’s jacket has become a big trend. 🔥  With just a few stylish touches, he makes everything look cool. He is the silent star of fashion. 😎🧢

Tuney John – The Poster Magician 🖼️🎨  The first magic of RETRO began with his posters. They were full of color, bold & instantly grabbed attention.  He created the movie’s look even before it reached the screen and he continues to bring that magic with every new poster.


Karthik Subburaj to Santhosh: "Bro, the dance will come when it comes." 😂 The dance doesn’t happen on every take. Santhosh Narayanan and Pandiyaa always bring that fun banter to the mix.


These are the Offscreen Magicians of RETRO! 🎬🪄  They are not seen on the screen, but without them, the real magic wouldn’t happen.  Massive respect to the entire team. 🙏🏻❤️ Retro from May 1st – Get ready for the magic! 🔥


Please note: After the movie release, the retro BTS comics will continue. This is the final series before the movie's release."
