Legend Saravanan's debut film has Raai Laxmi shaking her leg to a traditional kuthu dance

Legend Saravanan and Urvashi Rautela are now collaborating on the film The Legend, which will be released in the near future. Legend will mark Saravan’s debut film whereas Urvashi Rautela, who has appeared in a number of Bollywood movies will be making her Kollywood debut with this film. As per latest reports, Kanchana (2011) actress Raai Laxmi has been roped in for a special dance number on a traditional folk song. Harris Jayaraj composed the song, which the actress just shot in Chennai.

“It’s a catchy, peppy kuthu — a traditional folk song, actually,” a source connected to the project revealed. As a result, the producers sought for Laxmi to cast as the leading lady. When she heard the song, she immediately said yes,” the source stated.

The song was choreographed by Raju Sundaram master and was shot on an exquisite, colourful setup. “Laxmi shot for it for six days continuously and wrapped up work just four days ago. It’s a high-energy song and has some very complex footwork, but since it was a packed schedule, she didn’t have time for rehearsal. However, she has worked with Raju Sundaram master before and the comfort level she shares with his team helped them complete the shoot on time,” the insider says.

JD and Jery, ad filmmakers, are directing the science fiction drama The Legend. Initially, Vivekh was a part of the film; but, after his death, the production brought in prominent comedian Yogi Babu. The creators are planning to release the movie in five languages – Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam.
