The R. Madhavan-starrer is a gangster series that explores the story of an aging patriarch who tries to save his legacy by fighting powerful external forces. Faced with a prophecy of downfall and an inevitable siege, Periyavar, the head of a gangster empire, fights back as faultlines show up in his once iron-clad kingdom.

The trailer of Legacy carries the caption, “There is an empire, a throne, and everything. But who has the merit to wear that crown?” Fire becomes an important theme in the series, representing power, which is never biased and yet always faithful to him who wields it.

On the other hand, Abhishek Bannerjee’s character looks to dismantle all of these pillars, one by one, to initiate a siege in Periyavar’s kingdom.
