Not making the protagonist suffer a terrible loss might hurt. Also, a few duet songs between the heroine and the white knight hero. Then, insert random shots set in multiple foreign locations. Now, one can’t resist the urge to make him go against a medical mafia. A hero has to fight for a noble cause in this case, it is the quest to find a cure for diabetes. It isn’t difficult to ascertain the ideas that might have been agreed upon between the directors and the producer. Storyline: A world-renowned scientist works on a cure for diabetes while also waging a war against an international medical mafiaĮven if one manages to turn a blind eye to all that, the screenplay doesn’t move an inch from a regular bad commercial potboiler.

Add the tacky set designs, bright costumes, excessive make-up - and Saravanan walking in slow motion - it won’t be an exaggeration to say that the film looks oddly similar to the many Saravana Stores commercials. To make matter worse, every time Saravanan is about to speak to the audience, the camera finds its way to his front almost like a warning sign. At one point, an outline of a woman's body on a blackboard is redrawn into that of Mahatma Gandhi to drive forward a point. We then get scenes after scenes of what seem like commercials for awareness programmes. The fourth wall is dead for good there is no rebuilding it, and we begin to willingly suspend our belief. Perhaps it is with this same confidence, that Saravanan swoops onto the screen in The Legend and shatters the fourth wall with a note of gratitude to audience. Exhibiting remarkable confidence, Saravanan decided to take a step further and produce and act in his own movie, with long-forgotten director duo JD-Jerry helming the project. The quote-unquote 'audacious' move had a reverse effect of sorts, with the negative publicity only attracting more eyeballs. The man, who had only experienced backstage popularity earlier, was now subjected to incessant trolls that particularly targeted his looks. A few years ago, retail magnate Legend Saravanan appeared in the commercial for his Legend Saravana Stores.
