The Legend is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language science fiction action film directed by J. D.–Jerry and produced by The Legend New Saravana Stores Productions. It stars debutant Arul "Legend" Saravanan in the titular role, alongside Urvashi Rautela, Geethika Tiwary (in their Tamil debut), Prabhu, Vivek, Suman, Yogi Babu and Nassar in the supporting roles. The film follows Saravanan, a scientist who returns to India after studying overseas, who tries to find a cure to diabetes after his friend dies from it.
The film was officially announced in December 2019 under the tentative title Production No. 1, as it is the production house's first venture, and the official title was revealed in March 2022. Principal photography commenced the same month. It was shot sporadically in several legs, with filming locations including Chennai, Pollachi and the Himalayas. The film has music composed by Harris Jayaraj, cinematography handled by R. Velraj and editing by Ruben.
The Legend was initially scheduled to release on 1 July 2022, but was postponed to 15 July 2022 before getting postponed yet again due to reasons unknown. The film was released worldwide on 28 July 2022 in theatres to negative reviews from critics and became a box-office bomb.
