Legend Saravanan, the popular businessman turned actor, made his cinema debut as an actor and producer with the Tamil film 'Legend'. Legend Saravanan inaugurated the head office building of the Federation of Tamil Nadu Merchants' Associations, and he interacted with the media after the inauguration.
During the interaction, Legend Saravanan delivered a motivational speech in which he indirectly criticised Rajinikanth and Vijay for their respective anecdotes during the 'Jailer' audio launch and 'Leo' success meet. Saravanan asserted that the stories of the crow and the eagle, as narrated by both actors, are futile. He claimed the title of "Legend" for himself and emphasized that progress is achievable only through concerted effort. Saravanan encouraged everyone to collaborate with love and promote a culture of love.
While Legend Saravanan shared motivational words with his fans, his statements targeting popular actors like Rajinikanth and Vijay sparked a social media debate among their respective fan bases.
At the 'Jailer' audio launch, Rajinikanth remarked that despite the crow's attempts to disturb the eagle, the eagle continues to soar high, unaffected. He suggested that a crow is limited in its flight altitude. This comparison caused a controversy on social media, with fans interpreting it as a comparison between the iconic Superstar and the younger generation of actors.
Subsequently, at the 'Leo' success meeting, Vijay asserted that every cinema star's title belongs to them and referred to Rajinikanth as the sole superstar.
