'Leader', directed by R. S. Durai Senthilkumar, stars Legend Saravanan, Sham, Andrea, Santosh Pratap, Payal Rajput, Lal, Prabhakaran, Amrita Iyer, VTV Ganesh, Baby Iyal and many others. S. Venkatesh has handled the cinematography and Ghibran Vaibodha has composed the music for this film. Pradeep E. Raghav is handling the editing work while G. Durairaj is handling the art direction. This film, which is being prepared as a commercial entertainer, is produced by Legend Saravana Stores Productions.

The title and first look video launch of the film, which will be released in theatres worldwide in April in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi, was held at a star hotel in Chennai on Wednesday. The event was attended by journalists, fans and the film crew, with the President of the Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. A. M. Wickramaraja, as the special guest, unveiling the title of the film.

Mr. Wickramaraja said, "Thank you to everyone who came to the event to unveil the title of Legend Saravanan's second film. Everyone knows that Saravanan is a well-known businessman.

When a father establishes a famous company and hands it over to his children, some of the children succeed and some of the children fail. But instead of all this, the one who has worked hard and risen to become the best salesman in Asia is the respected brother Legend Saravanan. This is his second film. I have seen his first film. It will be very good. That too is a success. But this film will go beyond that and become a great milestone film. It is sure to be a success. No one can stop this. This 'leader' will definitely succeed.

Even though it is a two and a half hour film, this film will be made in a way that people can enjoy watching it to relieve their stress and leave with a sense of happiness.
They have planned and worked day and night on this film. This film will be a success. Thank you for inviting us to this event and honoring us. This stage is set to honor ordinary traders who run a small shop in the outskirts of Tamil Nadu. Therefore, this event is our family event. Whenever we meet, Saravanan will discuss how every trader should work hard for his livelihood and progress.

He will talk about what steps you are taking to protect ordinary traders from being affected by online trading, corporate companies, and similar institutions. Whether it is a GST issue or a matter related to food safety laws, he is someone who can discuss with great concern that ordinary traders should not be affected. Legend Saravanan is the one who is always there for them.

"This film starring the legend Saravanan has created huge expectations. After the release of this film, Saravanan's name will be flying high all over the world," he said.

The film's music composer, Ghibran Vaibotha, said, "Every director has directed many films. We must have missed some of them. In that sense, if I have seen all the films released under the direction of a director, it would be the films released under the direction of director R. S. Durai Senthilkumar. When I watch his films, they are suitable for all sections of the audience. He has the magic of presenting all films as entertainment. That magic is even more magnificent in this film. We have missed such genre films in Tamil cinema for a long time. We have created it again for the fans through the film Leader.

I have worked on a promotional film for Saravana Stores. While working on a film starring Legend, many people I met encouraged me to provide excellent music. All his family fans will come to watch his film. So they kindly requested me to create a good song and background score. In that sense, it was a great pleasure to work on this film. It is also a pleasure to be associated with Think Music again. I will continue to talk about other things. This is a happy moment. Thank you to everyone,'' he said.

Director RS Durai Senthilkumar said, "Producer Saravanan sir told me that we will release the title and glimpses of this film in front of the journalists. The media is not just Pillaiyar Suzhi, but Pillaiyar himself. We have now met journalists who are Pillaiyar before meeting the God called Makkal."

I met and started talks with Legend Saravanan in September 2022. It was only after 5-6 months that we finalized and started working on the film.

At that moment, whenever I met and talked to him, I initially thought that he had come to act out of desire. But in subsequent meetings with him, I realized that he was someone who could see all aspects of cinema in detail through his speech. It was only after that that I realized that he had not come to act out of desire.

I was surprised by something he shared once during a casual meeting with him. When he was in fifth or sixth standard, he used to hang photos of some Hindi actors at home. When his mother asked about it, he said, "I want to be like them in the future, I will be." Since then, he has worked hard for his family and duties and has reached the top. However, he has made this film with the desire and dream of that boy as a young man - with inspiration for the youth. This was truly a great example for me.

I have been amazed by his hard work in the two years I have known him. I have learned a lot from him. I really like his incredible courage and self-confidence.

Every experience with him on the sets is unforgettable.
The ultimate goal for every director is to create what he wants in the way he wants. For that, he needs a producer who gives him complete freedom and permission. He was a good producer of that kind and an actor who was ready to listen to whatever I told him and do it. It is because of his courage that I directed this film. This film has given us satisfaction. We are eagerly waiting for your support. Thank you,” he said.

Producer/Actor Legend Saravanan said, "Leader- As soon as you see the title of this film, the question arises whether it is a political film or what kind of film. There is not a single political scene or political dialogue in this film. It is completely a commercial entertainer film. It is like the currently released Glimpse is a pot of rice for a pot of rice. This is the essence of this film. The entire film will be like this.

The story of this film is that an innocent father and his son are living a happy life. Suddenly, a big gang enters their lives. What happens after that is what my director Durai Senthilkumar has wonderfully scripted. He has scripted the screenplay in a way that is appealing to today's generation. This is what is important.

Because there are many stories. But the challenge is to create a screenplay. In this way, the director has meticulously crafted every scene in this film, from the first scene to the last.

Ghibran's background music is a huge strength of the film. Similarly, he has composed the songs in a manner that suits the film's storyline.

We shot for 40 days in Thoothukudi for this film. After that, we shot for 15 days in Georgia. We also shot in Jaipur, Chennai, and Ooty. Cinematographer Venkatesh has done a wonderful job in every scene.

Editor Pradeep Raghav, who worked on the recently released films 'Dragon' and 'Jananayakan', has worked as the editor for this film as well. He has done a brilliant job in this film too, my congratulations to him.

My congratulations to art director Durairaj too. When fight director Mahesh Mathew arrives at the shooting site, the site itself becomes excited. He works with such enthusiasm.

I was interested in cinema from a young age. I used to keep pictures of Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan on the fridge at my house. I used to tell my mother that one day I would become a star like them. Hearing this, my mother would say 'Happy' and leave.

I have great devotion and respect for my father. Because of that, I started working with my father in the family business. After that, he trusted me and gave me full responsibility. I started working hard. I would be the first one to enter my company in the morning. After everyone else leaves, I would be the last one to leave. I have continued like this since the beginning till today. I followed the same practice while shooting for this film. I would be the first one to go to the shooting site. I would be the last one to leave from there. Whatever work I do, I will work with full attention and dedication. This is my character.

Today, on the one hand, they say that films with content will be successful. On the other hand, they say that mass action films will be successful. This film has good story content. It also has mass action elements. This film has been made to appeal to fans from all walks of life.

My team and I are happy after watching the film. I think the fans who watch the film will also get the same joy, happiness, and satisfaction.

Cinema is not the success of an individual. There are thousands of workers in cinema. There are also thousands of workers in the theaters that screen the film. Because of this, I think every film should be successful.

The cinema industry is currently in a bit of a slump. Employment opportunities for workers have decreased a bit. Newcomers are also not getting full employment opportunities. That is why I always think that every film should be successful. Similarly, I request you, as journalists, to continue to contribute your part in the growth and revival of this cinema industry.

We are releasing the first single of this film on Valentine's Day, February 14th. Following that, we are releasing the glimpses of the film on March 6th.

"We are making all efforts to release this film in April. Before this, the audio launch of the film will be held in a grand manner. All the actors, actresses and technicians who worked on the film will attend the event," he said.
