After a successful theatrical run, Pooja Hegde and Suriya's most recent film, Retro, is currently available for streaming on Netflix and is still making waves online. The gangster romantic drama has quickly risen to the top of the streaming behemoth's trending list, indicating both the film's popularity and the audience's admiration for its gripping plot.

With Pooja Hegde playing a previously unseen character, Retro, which was directed by Karthik Subbaraj, provides a novel cinematic experience. She plays Suriya's character's love interest, Rukmani, and her performance gives the story more nuance and emotional weight.

Suriya dominates the screen with powerful action scenes and unbridled energy, but Pooja's performance provides much-needed emotional equilibrium, resulting in a dramatic contrast that heightens the movie's overall effect. Fans have been especially won over by the lead pair's obvious chemistry, which has received recognition for its genuineness and charm.

Pooja's viral dance number "Kanimaa," which has gone viral on social media, is contributing to the excitement. Her catchy hookstep from the song immediately became popular on the internet, with influencers and fans copying the moves on various platforms. The success of the song only increased the movie's audience and cemented its cultural significance.

Another high point in Pooja's filmography, Retro's favourable reception in theatres and on OTT highlights its widespread appeal. The actress is already planning for the future while viewers continue to revel in Retro mania.

She is all set for her next big Bollywood project Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, a breezy romantic comedy where she will be seen opposite Varun Dhawan for the very first time. Directed by David Dhawan, the film promises a fun, light-hearted ride and is already generating curiosity, even though the release date is yet to be announced.
