A month ago, Netflix unveiled a slate of Tamil originals, in which a Madhavan headliner, Legacy, was also announced. Gulshan Devaiah, who recently made his Kannada debut in Kantara Chapter 1, is all set to make his Tamil debut with the upcoming crime drama series.
According to the official logline, the series follows "an ageing patriarch of a powerful crime family" as he "races against time to anoint a successor to protect his mighty empire from an inevitable siege. He will have to fight to save the family, his empire and most importantly – his legacy."
In a statement, Gulshan has now opened up about working in the upcoming Netflix original. "Legacy is a wonderful opportunity for me to find linguistic diversity in my career. After about 14 years of working primarily only in Hindi, I feel settled enough to spread my wings a bit and fly. I play a cop who is struggling with his sense of responsibility towards his duty, family, and self. It’s been a very satisfying experience for me with Legacy, and I’m eager to get back to Chennai for my final schedule.”
Legacy also stars Nimisha Sajayan, Gautham Karthik, Vaiyapuri, Abhishek Banerjee, Swaswika, Kaali Venkat, Harish Uthaman, and Ramesh Thilak. On working with the ensemble, Gulshan added, "It’s also my privilege that I’m getting to share the screen with Madhavan, Nimisha, Abhishek, Gautham Karthik, Mr Viyapuri, and other well-established, experienced actors from the Tamil industry."
The series is written and directed by Charukesh Sekar, who previously helmed the Telugu film Ammu, starring Aishwarya Lekshmi, Naveen Chandra, and Bobby Simha. The series is produced by Kalyan Subramanian of Stone Bench Pvt Ltd. A premiere date for the series is yet to be announced.
