Suriya Retro No USA premiere / Kushboo 2.0 and Vijayshanthi legacy


 

As many of us were sitting shell shocked after seeing Kushboo new look with 20 kgs weight loss and it reminded me of hr during the Ravichandran film day and My dear Marthnandam , trollers say that she might have take drugs that diabetes afflicted people take and by this they lose weight . I latr heard she gave a blast at these spoilsports. I think a new 2.0 Kush is expected. Hubby Sundar’s Gangers trailor makes one wanting to see the film. Alrady he is ona 2.0 version as Director with the Vels film.


 Yet to see the Telugu film Arjun Son of Vyjayanthi. Reason being Vijayashanthi returns to acting as a cop, a role she excelled in before. “Arjun S/O Vyjayanthi” has Vijayashanthi in the role of mother while Kalyan Ram plays her son. In her heyday, Vijayashanthi enjoyed the stardom equal to then-top stars like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Rajinikanth. She gained the tag of Lady Amitabh after the success of her portrayal of an IPS officer named Vyjayanthi in “Karthavyam,” which also earned her the National Award as Best Actress.

Just the other day, she said that her entire earnings are donated toa Trust named after her mother as she has no children. The Trust will be for welfare of children. Her jewellers have been given to the Tirupati Balaji’s hundi, she said.


Suriya- Kartihk Subburaj Retro has not so far listed anyUSA priemeres shows. This is asuprise as every Tamil film with a Star has an USA premiere and nobody loses the opportunity to make money. Apart from this Surya and Karthik has a fan following in Tamil and Telugu audience, the latter being the majority of the viewers abroad. The results and reviews from India are a pointer for USA ticket sales. Has Kanguva of Suriya affected Retro in USA ?

The audio of the film was launched . Santosh Narayanan scored the music. At the function Suriya thanked entire crew including leading lady Pooja Hegde who dubbed herself in Tamil.  He made a special mention –“ If our films have been screened in the northern states and have earned the love of the people there, the main reason for that is producer Jayanthilal Gada. I would like to express my gratitude to him at this moment.

Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, the film 'Retro' stars Suriya, Pooja Hegde, Joju George, Jayaram, Nasser, Prakashraj, Sujith Shankar, Swasika, Singam Puli, Karunakaran, Nandita Das, Ramya Suresh, George Marian and many others.
