Legend Saravanan's 'Leader' music and action teaser released

Starring legend Saravanan in the lead role, 'Leader', directed by R.S. Durai Senthilkumar, will be released in theaters worldwide on April 3rd. The music and action teaser launch of the film was held in Chennai on a grand scale in the presence of film celebrities, the film crew and fans.

Lyricist Viveka said, "As soon as the song 'Muthaitharu Pathi Thirunagai' from Thiruppugazhil sung by Arunagirinathar was played at the beginning of this musical, my whole body was thrilled. I have written two songs in the film, both of which are wonderful experiences. After watching the trailer of the film, it is clear that this is going to be a film for everyone."

If I have to talk about Legend Saravanan, I can't figure out whether what he says goes viral or whether he just talks about going viral. When I recently attended an event and asked him the reason for his success in business, he said, "My father used to tell me one thing, that you should go to the store before everyone else and come out of the store after everyone else. I follow that, and that's the reason for my success." This is the bible of the business world. When he said that, it went viral on a huge scale. That's the secret to his success, and I wish him all the best for this film's success."

Lyricist Mohan Rajan said, "If I am standing on this stage today, it is mainly because of composer Ghibran and director Durai Senthilkumar. I have written a song related to father-daughter in this film. Everyone who thinks and feels that the four should be good is a leader. Legend Saravanan is already a real leader. You are a leader in real life. We welcome you to appear as a leader on screen as well, we are proud of you."

If I had to congratulate this in the style of the late Vali Sir... "No one has given you orders, you are your own border, your shoulder has never been tired, because you are the true leader..." Leader - definitely a winner," he said.

Producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu said, "Legend Saravanan is truly a leader. I came to know while interacting with him that he has many stories in mind. He has created many characters... He told me a story of Bruce Lee and said that he would prepare himself to have a six-pack in that story. Then I called him and went to a big director and started negotiations to make a film like that. I wish his idea and work a great success," he said.

Producer Thiagarajan said, "I saw Legend Saravanan's first film, and it was a huge success. I kept wondering what his next film would be. I was happy to hear that Durai Senthilkumar, who directed the film 'Pattasu' in our company, is directing the film Leader, and Legend Saravanan is acting in it. This film will be a huge success, we will meet at the success ceremony," he said.

Director R K Selvamani said, "Looking at the fans of Legend Saravanan who have come here, it seems that this film will be a big hit. I met Legend Saravanan's father in 1988 when I was an assistant director. At that time, assistant directors were unpaid workers. We would often visit his shop. They would sell a shirt for 99 rupees, less than a hundred rupees. Once we got a hundred rupees, we would often visit that shop to buy that shirt. Once during Diwali, they offered 500 rupees, and we went to the shop to take it and buy the shirt. At that time, if you could buy a shirt for the whole family for 500 rupees, it was only available at Saravana Stores. At that time, I bought a dress for my father, my brother, my sister-in-law. The price of the shirt I was looking at had changed. The bill was 590 and I had only 500 rupees. At that time, when did you give me the rest of the money? He said, "Give it to me when you have it." He gave the same respect to those who bought a shirt for one hundred rupees, and he gave the same respect to those who bought a shirt for one lakh rupees. He was a boss who respected the customer. I think that is the reason for his success.

Similarly, as soon as I saw the announcement about this film, I called up director Durai Senthilkumar. He is a very close friend of mine. I requested him to direct this as a successful film. After that, the director sent me the first look of the film. I appreciated it when I saw it.

"Honesty, low profit, lots of customers... This is the mantra for Legend Saravanan's success. There are reports that Legend Saravanan is going to produce many films on a small budget in cinema. Our cinema needs many producers, just like you, just as your father achieved success in the business sector, you should also achieve great things in the film industry. You should make and produce not 50 but even 100 films, and you should make cinema and cinema workers live," he said.

Producer Dhananjayan said, "Legend Saravanan sir, you have not only occupied an important place in the business world but also in Tamil cinema. It is very appropriate that you come with the title 'Leader'. Your passion and dedication for cinema is clearly visible in you. Our expectation is that you, who have achieved such a great achievement in business, should succeed in cinema with the same determination. In particular, I am sure that your partnership with director Durai Senthilkumar will be very good. His films are always liked by the people. Similarly, this film 'Leader' will also be a big success. I expect that this film will be an important milestone in your life. Films focusing on father-daughter feelings in Tamil cinema always touch the hearts of the people. Films like 'Theri' and 'Viswasam' are the best examples of that. Similarly, I hope that 'Leader' will also be a successful film with a mixture of emotion and action. Ghibran's music and background score are the biggest strength of this film. It is clear in the trailer itself. Also, the promotion of this film has been done well. Congratulations to Nikhil Murugan who is leading the way. Saravanan sir, you should continue to deliver quality films with big budgets in your cinematic journey. Our wish is that you should continue to give successful films to Tamil cinema. My heartfelt congratulations to the entire team, with the hope that the film 'Leader' will definitely be a huge success," he said.

Actress Aranthangi Nisha said, "The word leader is suitable for those who do not only make themselves proud but also make everyone around them proud. Whenever I go to Legend Saravanan's shop, he makes us sit down and encourages us, saying, "I want to act in many films, act well, and see you on many stages." Legend Saravanan is someone who always encourages many artists.

I won't be able to go to Saravana Stores for six months after the release of this film. Because I acted in a scene in the film where I scolded him. I didn't say it myself, I just acted by saying what the director wrote. My husband also acted in this film. He is as quiet in the film as he is at home.

"He is a great man who sells food at very low prices. The reason we call him a leader is that when we went to his hometown for filming, he would cook for the entire village. He would host a party for the entire village on all the days of filming there," he said.

Baby Iyal said, "I laughed, cried, was angry, and there were sentimental scenes in this film. I thank the director for giving me this opportunity. The cinematographer of the film, S. Venkatesh, worked in the film 'Tik Tik Tik' starring our father. My father used to call him a lucky cameraman. I feel lucky to have acted in his cinematography."

"An interesting incident happened during the shoot. When we were caught in heavy rain, there was a scene where Legend Uncle was saving us. While shooting that scene, he tripped and fell, but still managed to balance and save us. For that moment, I felt like I had a mini heart attack. At that moment, I forgot all the dialogues I had remembered. His best hard work was the fight scene in the train. But I told him, 'Uncle, don't take such a risk.'"

Actor Sham said, "After watching the film Garudan, I shared my desire to act in a film directed by Durai Senthilkumar with my friends. He has handled all the characters in that film perfectly. A few days after I said this, I received a call from director Durai Senthilkumar, and then we met. I did not ask him for the story because he is a very responsible director in Tamil cinema. Durai Senthilkumar is one of those who uses the cinema platform to the fullest, as all the films he has directed have a commercial value and a beautiful message.

When I was dubbing for this film, he dubbed all the characters himself. He was so clear that this is what I wanted. No one here would do this.

"Not everyone has seen the other side of the legend Saravanan, I have enjoyed listening to his great sense of humor in the scenes I worked with him on the set. He always has a big perspective on life. He continues to follow it. This is his second film, and of course he will continue to be in cinema and act in many films. He has said that many directors should be given opportunities through his production. Tamil cinema needs someone with a vision like him," he said.

Actor VTV Ganesh said, "I was very happy when the director told me to act with the legend Saravanan. Because I really like him and his acting. He has captivated a lot of people. I used to watch in amazement how this man advertises so grandly."

Anyone can have money, but only if they have a passion for cinema can they act. Only if they have a desire to do something can they act. This does not come to everyone. That is why I say that if it is an achievement, it is Legend Saravanan. I know that this film will collect 500-600 crores when it is released. If it is successful in other languages ​​too, this film will collect a thousand crores," he said.

Director Bhagyaraj said, "I kept watching how many people were talking about our legend Saravanan. Everyone spoke highly of him. What I clearly understood from that was that he was someone who courageously completed what he set out to do, who moved forward with confidence without worrying about anyone; that was something I really liked. It is not an ordinary thing to come to cinema with such enthusiasm. It is a great achievement. Coming up with the title 'Leader' after the film 'Legend' is very appropriate and strong. This is a challenging endeavor for director Durai Senthilkumar. But he always makes quality films with talented technicians. Since talented artists like Ghibran have been associated with this film too, I am sure that this film will definitely be a huge success. The response given by the people when they saw the trailer already indicates the success of this film. It has created interest in watching the film.

"I hope this film will not only be a big budget film, but also a complete film with emotions, story and powerful elements. Saravanan did not come to cinema just to earn money; he came to achieve what he wanted and to serve cinema. He should continue to give many good films from this industry and help many people. I extend my heartfelt wishes that he may live a long healthy life and do many more services to cinema. My heartfelt congratulations to all the technicians, director and crew who worked on this film," he said.

Music composer Jibran Vaibotha said, "First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the director and producer who gave me the opportunity to work on this film, and to all the team who worked with me. In particular, I am very grateful to all the team members who worked day and night for this film and did not sleep for many days. Creating songs for this film was very challenging. But at the same time, it also gave me great satisfaction. Every song and background music was created with great care. In particular, director Durai Senthilkumar sir always paid attention to small details and suggested necessary changes to make those songs even better. I learned in this film how much a small BGM change can make a big difference. If I have to say about Durai sir, he is a very calm but very serious director. The way he motivates the team and gets everything done smoothly is his biggest strength. Working with such directors is a great experience for us.

"Everyone has said many things about the legend Saravanan sir. He has shown a new face through this film. He has proven himself in this film as an actor who works with complete dedication, not just as a producer or a businessman. I believe this film will introduce a new hero to Tamil cinema. 'Leader' is a very important film for me. The work I have done in this film has given me a special satisfaction. I hope everyone will like the songs and background score of this film. My thanks to all the actors and technicians who were in this film. 'Leader' will definitely be a big hit. Everyone should go to the theatres and watch it and support it, thank you," he said.

Director Durai Senthil Kumar said, “Leader is my sixth film. My heartfelt thanks to all my team members who worked with me. Their hard work over the past two years has brought this film to this point. Arun, who helped with the dialogues, and Rajesh, the acting coach – I also thank you. I could not have made this film without the support of this team.

First of all, I want to talk about the composer Ghibran sir. The name that came to mind when we started this film was Ghibran sir. Working with him was a divine experience. Sometimes, he would contact me at the very moment I wanted to call him. There was a spiritual connection between us.

I thought an action sequence needed a powerful Murugan song. When I showed a note, it turned out to be a spiritual music already composed by Ghibran sir. There was such a wonderful harmony throughout the film. His music is a big reason for the rise of this film, thank you very much sir.

My friends, cinematographer Venkatesh and art director Durairaj, have worked 200 percent for this film. Having good friends is a blessing. When asked for feedback, they give honest answers – that is very important. Editor Praveen and stunt master Mahesh Mathew – my thanks to you too. It is very rare for artists to fully understand the director’s vision and bring it to the screen. In that way, you both were a great support to me. Praveen expressed my thoughts beautifully on screen.

I have to talk about the actors. Sham sir – your presence elevated the character. Santosh sir, Payal – you are an example of how much trust can be placed on a director. It gave me a good sense of responsibility. Andrea madam, Viveka sir, Mohan Raj – my thanks to all of you. Especially my wish to work with Viveka sir was fulfilled in this film. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked on this film – the cinematography team, the editing team, the lighting crew, the production team – all of you. Finally, Eyal, you are a natural talent. Your future will be very bright.

Finally… Legend Sir. I faced many difficulties before starting this film. Despite having many stories, it did not become a film. It was at that time that I got the opportunity to meet Legend Sir. At the same time, the opportunity of ‘Garudan’ came. When I told him that I was coming after finishing a film, he said, “I am waiting for you, we are going to make this film.” That confidence is the foundation of this film. If I have to talk about his energy – it is like a bullet flowing from a gun. The same enthusiasm at any time. He would come before time.

"He would say, 'We have a hundred people working for us; we must not delay.' That was a big lesson for me. In the Mahabharata, it is said that Arjuna only sees through the eyes of a bird. Similarly, victory is his only goal. His energy is like fire. He has spread that energy to his fans as well. Everyone will definitely like this film, thank you," he said.

Legend Saravanan said, "Thank you to the producers and directors who attended this ceremony as special guests. In today's environment, the clouds of war are surrounding the people and there is a sense of insecurity. I join you in praying to God that this war will end soon and all the people will once again live a happy, safe, and loving life."

My second film after 'Legend' is 'Leader'. The film will be released in theaters on April 3rd. The story of this film is about an innocent father and son, who are living a very happy life. Suddenly, a big gangster gang enters their life, and what happens after that, director Durai Senthilkumar has directed it in a neat and beautiful way that will appeal to today's younger generation. He has dedicated himself completely in this film. Whoever dedicates himself completely to his work, that work will be wonderful, and this film is also very grand.

There are no catchy songs in this film. But there are songs that go along with the story in this film, and there are lyrics for them. Music composer Ghibran has composed the music wonderfully.

The film was shot in Georgia, Jaipur, Ooty, Thoothukudi and Chennai. We were shooting the climax fight scene in a train. While we were shooting in a narrow space with more than a hundred foreign fighters and more than a thousand people, I called my production manager and asked how many ambulances there were here, and he said there was only one. Immediately call two or three more ambulances, because you don't know who will get hit here, how and where. I told him to be prepared because I could get hit too, but by the grace of God, no one was seriously hurt in that climax fight scene. On the tenth day, I got a slight injury on my leg, and I was in a state of doubt whether to continue shooting or not. Keeping in mind the thousands of workers working with me and not making them wait, I immediately took first aid and continued shooting. The strength for this came from God's blessings and the encouragement given by the director and the team. I thank them once again for this.

I would like to thank the cinematographer, art director, stunt master, actors, actresses and all the technicians who worked on the film.

The experience of working with Aranthangi Nisha, Baby Iyal, George Marian, Bahubali Prabhakar, Santosh Pratap, Sham, Lal, Amrita Iyer, Aishwarya Lakshmi, Andrea, Payal Rajput on the set was unforgettable. People like Dhanush and Vetrimaaran who saw the film praised it as magnificent.

We are confident that this film will become a huge hit like 'Jailer' or 'Vikram' or 'Leo' because 'Leader' has all the qualities for that. The fans will love it. The film is releasing on Good Friday, everyone with their families should come to the theater and watch the film and support it, this film will satisfy you 100%.

Our faith in this film is our faith in you. We are confident that this film will be a huge hit. Celebrate your summer vacation with 'Leader'.

"There is a line in the film that says, 'God doesn't provide any help directly, all good things happen through good people. We have to trust him. Trust me.' That's my favorite line. You all will definitely like this film," he said.

Payal Rajput plays the female lead in the film 'Leader'. Sham, Andrea Jeremiah, Lal, Prabhakar, Amrita Iyer, VTV Ganesh and others play important roles. The film has been shot in many locations including Thoothukudi, Jaipur, Ooty, Georgia and Chennai.

With Ghibran Vaibodha's heart-touching music, cinematographer S. Venkatesh's amazing camera angles, Pradeep E. Ragha's vibrant editing and Mahesh Mathew's thrilling fight sequences, 'Leader' has emerged as a complete film full of action, suspense and entertainment.

The film is produced by Legend Saravana Stores Productions on a grand scale. It will be released in theaters worldwide on April 3rd.
