A film that created instant curiosity among fans ever since it was announced in 2019 is the big-screen acting debut of 'Legend' Saravanan, the current owner of one of the leading retail stores in India, Saravana Stores. The upcoming film has been in the making for some time under the direction of the JD-Jerry duo of the 'Thala' Ajith and 'Chiyaan' Vikram-starrer Ullasam and the 2003 horror film Whistle fame. In that light, the title of the much-awaited venture has been revealed to be The Legend, with an intriguing motion poster being released on Friday that shows Saravanan in an out-and-out action avatar. Composer Harris Jayaraj's electrifying musical score powers The Legend motion poster and his music in the project will no doubt be a big USP. 

The Legend has Saravanan sharing screen space with Bollywood actresses Urvashi Rautela and Geethika, while the supporting cast also features names like Nasser, Prabhu, Vijayakumar, Yogi Babu, and the late Padma Shri Vivek. Produced under The New Legend Saravana Stores Productions banner, the film is touted to be a sci-fi venture and is currently in its post-production stages, with plans for a grand release this year. Production on Legend Saravanan's film had suffered an unexpected setback after the coronavirus outbreak played spoilsport for the project's shoot to continue and thus delaying the initial 2020 release plans. The Legend will also be an emotional affair for many as it will mark comedy actor Vivek's final on-screen appearance after he passed away in April last year. 

Apart from the star-studded cast in The Legend, the film also includes a talented technical team, and Harris Jayaraj leads the way with his music. The blockbuster composer had last delivered chart-busters in Suriya's Kaapaan and his work in Legend Saravanan's film debut has created a lot of expectations among fans, with the lyrics for the songs penned by 'Kaviperarasu' Vairamuthu, Kabilan, Pa Vijay, Snekan, and Madhan Karky, while Raju Sundaram, Brindha and Dinesh are the choreographers. Likewise, The Legend also has cinematography by R. Velraj, editing by Antony L Ruben, art direction by S. S. Moorthy, while the dialogues have been written by Pattukottai Prabhakar and the action stunts overseen by Anl Arasu.
