The other side of Muralitharan’s life was also seen in this trailer. Where he suffered the pain of riots in his childhood. He also faced allegations of chucking in his cricket career. In this emotional trailer, his journey from a common man to becoming a legendary spinner is shown.
Since Muralitharan holds the record for taking 800 wickets in Test cricket, the makers have titled the film as ‘800’. Earlier, the role of cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan in the film was to be played by South’s famous actor Vijay Sethupathi. Vijay announced the film with his first look poster. As soon as he made this announcement, he came under target of Tamilians. He was trolled badly after which Vijay decided to leave the film.
